  • Publication number: 20230152675
    Abstract: An accessory mount can be inserted through the camera body mount without any of the first through third tabs being hindered by any of three camera body-side tabs at the camera body mount, as long as the accessory mount is inserted into the camera body mount at a correct interlock phase. The first, second, and third tabs extend over varying lengths along the circumferential direction. The first tab extends over a greatest length and the third tab extends over a smallest length, along the circumferential direction. The accessory mount includes a restricting member, a fitting portion, and a lock pin hole. The restricting member is disposed at a position assumed on a side substantially opposite from the lock pin hole across the fitting portion.

  • Publication number: 20140193145
    Abstract: An accessory side mount of the camera accessory includes at least a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion that is different from the first limiting portion. When the first through third claws are rotated in a first rotational direction along the circumferential direction in order to install the accessory side mount that has been inserted in the proper installation and detachment rotational phase into the body side mount, the first limiting portion limits a range of rotation in the first rotational direction by abutting an end surface of one of the camera body side claws. When the first through third claws are rotated in a second rotational direction along the circumferential direction that is opposite to the first rotational direction in order to detach the accessory side mount from the body side mount, the second limiting portion limits a range of rotation in the second rotational direction by abutting an end surface of one of the camera body side claws.
