A focus position indicating device for a camera including an array of electrically activatable display elements such as light emitting diodes or liquid crystal elements, the number of which are activated being dependent upon the state of focusing. A drive contrast signal is converted into a digital signal and compared with the count output of a continuously-cycling digital counter. The output of the counter is also decoded into a set of signals one of which is activated for each possible state of the counter output. The decoder output signals are gated by the output of a comparator circuit with the outputs of the gates connected to drive the display elements.

A focus position indicating device for a camera for determining a focus position from a contrast signal of an image of an object to be photographed comprising: an analog-to-digital converter for converting said contrast signal into a digital signal; a plurality of display elements arranged in a straight line and which are connected to be turned on and off; and a drive circuit for turning on said display elements in response to said digital signal such that said elements are turned on sequentially beginning at only one end of said straight line, and such that the number of said display elements which are turned on is a maximum at the focus position.
