An automatic focusing device having a light projecting device, a light receiving device arranged to detect a reflection light quantity reflected by an object to be photographed as a result of light projection by the light projecting device and a distance measuring device arranged to measure a distance to the object by the reflection light quantity received by the light receiving device is capable of adequately performing a focusing operation even in cases where the reflection light quantity is at a level too low for the distance measuring device to give any result of distance measurement. This advantage is attained by the following arrangement: (i) the automatic focusing device is provided with a current control device which is arranged to increase the power of a light flux to be emitted from the light projecting device; (ii) a lens driving operation is brought to a stop in the event of an object of a low reflection factor; (iii) the light quantity accumulating time of the light receiving means can be lengthened; or (iv) a comparison level can be lowered.
