no. 1 Embodiment approach ）

[0056] This embodiment will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same constituent elements, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

[0057] figure 1 It is a figure showing the appearance of the camera system 1 of this embodiment. figure 2 is from and figure 1 The view of the camera system 1 according to the present embodiment is viewed from the opposite side.

[0058] figure 1 and figure 2 The shown camera system 1 has a camera 10 (camera body 100 and imaging lens 200 ) and an accessory 400 . The accessory 400 of this embodiment has a light emitting function and is an additional (detachable to camera) lighting device that can illuminate a subject. The camera 10 communicates with the accessory 400 and can control the accessory 400 . The camera system 1 can capture an image of the subject through the camera 10 while illuminating the subject through the accessory 400 , for example.

Deformed example 1

[0426] First, modification 1 will be described. Figure 25 It is a figure which shows the processing procedure in the initial communication program of the modification 1. A series of processing and reference in modification 1 Figure 12 The difference in the series of processes described is that after the process in step S204, it is determined in step S260 whether or not the information from the accessory control unit 440 has been received normally.

[0427] In Modification 1, for example, after receiving the accessory initial status information from the accessory control unit 440 in step S204 , the camera control unit 170 determines whether the information from the accessory control unit 440 is normally received (step S260 ).

[0428] Specifically, in step S260, the initial status information of the accessory received by the camera control unit 170 in step S204 includes information on items specified by the transmission request command C1 in step S201 (for example, informati...

[0443] Next, Modification 2 will be described. Figure 26 It is a figure which shows the processing procedure in the electric power supply control of the modification 2. A series of processing and reference in Modification 2 Figure 14 The difference in the series of processes described is that after the process in step S250, it is determined in step S262 whether or not the information from the accessory control unit 440 has been received normally.

[0444] In Modification 2, when the camera control unit 170 determines in step S250 that the accessory 400 does not have a battery (step S250 : No), it determines in step S262 whether the reception of the battery "no" message is normally performed. In step S262 , when the camera control unit 170 receives the battery “no” message in step S204 , it determines that the message is received normally (step S262 : Yes), and continues the power supply to the accessory 400 started in step S103 . In addition, in step S262, when the camera ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an accessory, a camera, an accessory shoe, and a connector. The accessory (400) communicates with a camera (10). The accessory includes a terminal section (423) which has a plurality of terminals (Ts1-Ts12). The plurality of terminals includes a startup state providing terminal (Ts7) that supplies, to the camera, a detection level (DET) in order for the camera to detect that the accessory is capable of being started up, a data signal terminal (Ts6) that outputs a data signal (DATA), which includes information regarding the accessory, to the camera, and a first reference potential terminal (Ts5) which becomes a reference potential of the detection level and the data signal. The startup state providing terminal is arranged side by side with the data signal terminal, and the first reference potential terminal is arranged side by side with the data signal terminal such that the data signal terminal is disposed between the startup state providing terminal and the first reference potential terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an accessory, a camera, an accessory socket and a connector. [0002] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-146816 filed on June 30, 2011, Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-196864 filed on September 9, 2011, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2012 filed on April 9, 2012 No. 2012-088658, claiming priority, the contents of which are cited here. Background technique [0003] A camera may be used simultaneously with accessories such as a flash device (for example, refer to US Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0329302). Accessories are used by connecting to the camera's accessory socket (also known as base, hot shoe). The accessory shoe has a terminal for outputting a control signal for controlling the accessory to the accessory. The camera sends a control signal to the accessory through the terminal of the accessory socket to control the accessory. [0004] For a camera system including a c...
