rangefinder

Instrument for determining the range or distance of an object from the observer; used to focus a camera or to sight a gun accurately. A rangefinder camera has a rotating mirror or prism that alters the image seen through the viewfinder, and a secondary window. When the two images are brought together into one, the lens is sharply focused.
