A communication unit performs communication according to a first communication standard and a second communication standard. A communication compatibility processing unit performs communication compatibility processing necessary for maintaining communication compatibility in a case where an imaging system is assumed, the imaging system mixedly including a first external flash supporting only the first communication standard and a second external flash supporting both the first communication standard and the second communication standard. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging system including an imaging device and an external flash.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging system and a control method that make it possible to implement setting for an external flash by an operation on a camera side. Setting coordination processing is executed in which setting information of an external flash (13) is transmitted and received between a first communication unit (67A) and a second communication unit (47). Further, a second display unit is caused to display a setting screen to be used for setting a setting item of the external flash, and the setting information changed by an operation on the second operation unit is caused to be transmitted from the imaging device (12) to the external flash (13) via the first communication unit (67A) and the second communication unit (47), and a setting for the external flash (13) is caused to be applied.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging system, a control method, and a program capable of optimizing a release time lag. An external flash transmits a light emission preparation time from when reception of a light emission command is completed until when a light emission trigger is acceptable. An imaging device communicates with the external flash, acquires the light emission preparation time, and optimizes an output timing of the light emission trigger on the basis of the light emission preparation time. The present technology is applicable to, for example, an imaging system including an external flash and an imaging device.

Abstract: In a camera system for exposing an image of an object in each frame on a film, an inherent film number is optically exposed in a predetermined region on the film which is disposed before a first frame and not exposed. Furthermore, all frame data such as shutter speed, aperture number, and so on with respect to all frames on the same film are recorded together in a file in a memory card. A name corresponding to the inherent film number is used as a name of the file.
