description An automatic focusing apparatus includes an image pickup optical system; an image pickup device for converting an optical image formed by the image pickup optical system into an electric image signal at a predetermined cycle and outputting the electric signal; a focusing device; an optical flow calculation device for calculating optical flows in accordance with the image signals in a first image plane at a first time and a second image plane at a second time different from the first time, and for calculating an average of magnitudes and directions of the optical flows; and a judgment device for determining whether or not the focusing device is to be driven in accordance with calculated average of the magnitudes and the directions of the optical flows.
