    Abstract: In a first communication mode, a control unit controls a signal level of one contact based on a first command received from an imaging apparatus via another contact and a signal level indicated by an accessory device via yet another contact. In a second communication mode, the control unit receives a second command indicating the second communication mode and data via another contact. After the reception, the control unit transmits the data via still another contact. The control unit controls communication in the second communication mode based on the signal level of the one contact and the second command.

    Abstract: A low-glare fluorescent-powder LED light device includes a shell, a multi-frequency directional light source, a high-frequency directional light source, and an electrical control circuit. The shell has a surrounding wall, which defines a front opening and a rear opening and has an inner surface extending along a central axis. The multi-frequency directional light source, including at least one fluorescent-powder LED, is disposed at the inner surface of the shell. The high-frequency directional light source, including a plurality of high-frequency LEDs, is disposed at the inner surface of the shell such that the high-frequency LEDs are arranged in radial symmetry about the central axis. The electrical control circuit can drive the multi-frequency directional light source and/or the high-frequency directional light source. The central light beams emitting from the high-frequency LEDs do not reach the fluorescent-powder LED, so that the fluorescence interference of the fluorescent-powder LED can be avoided.

    Abstract: A multi-function portable lighting apparatus is provided, including a lighting device, a carrier unit and a support unit. The carrier unit has two ends, with one end disposed with lighting device and the other coupled with support unit. The support unit includes a battery set, supplying power to lighting device. The carrier unit includes a clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly has a clamping opening, with direction perpendicular to light projection axis of lighting device. The clamping assembly includes a clamping base, a clamping element and a rotation element. The rotation element matches the clamping element in a means of screw. When the rotation element rotates, the clamping element moves in clamping base linearly to open or close clamping opening. The apparatus can be used as a flashlight or clamping onto a smart phone to provide lighting when the ambient light is insufficient for photography.

    Abstract: An accessory shoe device enabling multi-polarization of a connector for connection to an accessory without degrading the versatility thereof. The accessory is attached to an engagement member. A signal terminal connector has contacts arranged in a lateral direction orthogonal to an attaching direction. A pair of first engagement portions in the engagement member are spaced by a first width in the lateral direction, and a pair of second engagement portions in the engagement member are spaced by a second width larger than the first width. The signal terminal connector is disposed forward of the first engagement portions in the attaching direction. A length of the signal terminal connector in the lateral direction is larger than the first width and smaller than the second width. The second engagement portions are formed rearward of the first engagement portions in the attaching direction.

    Abstract: A camera system includes a lighting device comprising a movable unit including a flash unit, an imaging apparatus, a setting unit, an operation unit, and a control unit. The setting unit sets an irradiation position which is to be irradiated with light from the flash unit. The operation unit accepts an operation for starting photographing preparation operation. The control unit performs driving control of the movable unit. When the operation unit accepts an operation for starting photographing preparation operation, the control unit performs driving control of the movable unit for irradiating the set irradiation position with light from the flash unit. When the operation unit does not accept an operation for starting photographing preparation operation, the control unit does not perform driving control of the movable unit for irradiating the set irradiation position with light from the flash unit.
