A main unit and a camera head unit including an image sensor and being detachably attachable to the main unit are included. Further, a first cable including a first connector section and a second connector section and being capable of connecting between the camera head unit and the main unit, and a second cable including a third connector section and a fourth connector section and being capable of connecting between the camera head unit and the main unit via the second cable and the first cable connected with the second cable are included. In addition, the second connector section and the fourth connector section have a same structure.

An image capturing apparatus, which includes a mounting part capable of attaching/detaching a device capable of at least storing a captured image, generates image data based on the captured image, if the device mounted in the mounting part can execute image analysis processing for the image data, determines, based on information obtained from the device, a method to be used to obtain a result of the image analysis processing from the device, outputs the image data to the device; and obtains the result from the device using the determined method.

An imaging apparatus includes: an imager configured to capture a subject image formed via an optical system including a focus lens, to generate image data; a display configured to display an image indicated by the image data; an operation member configured to receive a user operation; and a controller configured to control a focusing operation for adjusting a position of the focus lens along an optical axis in the optical system according to an evaluation value for a focus state, wherein the controller is operable to cause the display to display a graph indicating the evaluation value for a focus state in each position of the focus lens.

An electronic device comprising a display control unit configured to perform control to display a plurality of display items on a display, each display item corresponding to one of a plurality of setting items including a specified setting item; and a control unit configured to perform control to in case where the predetermined operation for the specified setting item is received and a line-of-sight input to a corresponding region for a display item corresponding to the specified setting item is received, display the display item corresponding to the specified setting item in a first display appearance, and in case where the predetermined operation for the specified setting item is received and a line-of-sight input to the corresponding region is not received, display the display item corresponding to the specified setting item in a second display appearance different from the first display appearance.

In a method, it is determined that a detachable lens is mounted on an image capture device in a first orientation. A first image of a controlled scene is captured with the detachable lens mounted in the first orientation. It is determined that the detachable lens is mounted on the image capture device in a second orientation that is rotated approximately 180 degrees from the first orientation. A second image of the controlled scene is captured with the detachable lens in the second orientation. A first image circle center of the first image is determined. A second image circle center of the second image is determined. An average image circle center is determined, based on the first image circle center and the second image circle center. The average image circle center is provided to an image stabilization algorithm when the detachable lens is mounted on the image capture device.

A lens control system and a method for compensating a disturbance force acting on a lens group of an optical assembly are provided. The optical assembly includes an actuator configured to move the lens group along an optical axis in response to an optical lens position command received from the camera controller. The lens control system further includes an optical assembly controller with a power driver configured to apply an electrical energy to the actuator to produce a force that acts on the lens group to move the lens group to a commanded position, a current sensor configured to measure a current flowing through the actuator in response to the electrical energy applied to the at least one actuator, and a position sensor configured to generate position information by measuring an actual position of the lens group.

A camera includes a lens-camera communication controller and an adapter-camera communication controller. The camera-lens communication channel includes a first data communication channel used during a data communication and a first notification channel used for a notification of a timing of a communication via the first data communication channel. The camera-adapter communication channel includes a second data communication channel used during the data communication and a second notification channel used for a notification of a timing of a communication via the second data communication channel.
