Abstract

A camera system includes a replaceable lens and a body unit in which the replaceable lens is installed, and an image forming apparatus, in which a timer included in a lens controller is reset according to an instruction from a camera controller so that the replaceable lens is synchronized with the body unit, and focus is adjusted using location information detected by the replaceable lens and a focus estimation value calculated by the body unit.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0107515 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on November 9, 2009, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a camera system including an interchangeable lens and an imaging device. Background technique [0003] Camera systems that include interchangeable lenses can use a contrast autofocus (AF) method to adjust focus. The contrast AF method may include the steps of detecting an AF evaluation value related to an image signal generated by an imaging device, detecting a focus point from the AF evaluation value, and then driving a focus lens. [0004] Specifically, in the contrast AF method, the time point at which the imaging device captures an image corresponds to the lens position. In addition, the point in time at which the AF estimated value is maximized is detected from the change in ...
