    摘要: An accessory device 100 being able to switch an operating state between an active state and a sleep state in which power consumption is smaller than in the active state performs communication with a camera 200 via a notification channel CS used for signal transfer between the camera 200 and the accessory device 100 and a data communication channel DATA used for data communication between the camera and the accessory device. The accessory device receives active instruction data that is transmitted from the camera in response to output of a predetermined signal from the accessory device in the sleep state via the notification channel, and switches the operating state of the accessory device 100 from the sleep state to the active state upon receiving the active instruction data.

    摘要: An image pickup device includes a notification channel and a data communication channel for communication with an accessory device, the notification channel being used for signal transfer between the image pickup device and the accessory device, the data communication channel being used for data communication between the image pickup device and the accessory device. The image pickup device starts the communication with the accessory device when a voltage level of the notification channel takes a predetermined level.

    摘要: An optical apparatus attachable to an image pickup apparatus and switchable a power state between a first state and a second state that consumes a power less than the first state includes a driver that drives a driven member, a first detector configured to detect a driving amount of the driver or whether the driven member is located at a predetermined position, a memory that stores a signal value of the first detector when the power state of the optical apparatus is switched from the first state to the second state, and a determiner that determines that the driver is in an abnormal state when the signal value stored in the memory and the signal value of the first detector when the power state of the optical apparatus is switched from the second state to the first state are different from each other.

    摘要: A camera 200 and accessory devices 100 and 300 perform communication via channels including a data communication channel used for data communication and a notification channel for notifying timing of communication performed via the data communication channel. Each of the accessory devices 100 and 300 performs switching from a first communication mode to a second communication mode upon receiving communication-partner designation data via the data communication channel with communication in the first communication mode, the communication-partner designation data indicating that the relevant accessory device has been selected as a communication partner with the camera 200.

    摘要: An interchangeable lens serving as an accessory apparatus includes a power control unit configured to switch between a first power state where communication with a camera main body serving as an image pickup apparatus is possible and a second power state which provides smaller power consumption than the first power state. The interchangeable lens also includes a setting unit configured to switch a communication setting between a first setting corresponding to a first communication method that is a communication method used in an initial communication and a second setting corresponding to a second communication method different from the first communication method. In addition, in a case where the communication setting of the interchangeable lens is the second setting, the power control unit does not perform the switching from the first power state to the second power state.
