  • Publication number: 20180278841
    Abstract: A digital camera includes common terminal 12, mode dial 10, and function setting unit 140. Mode dial 10 is capable of setting a certain photography mode from among a plurality of photography modes including a moving image photography mode and a still image photography mode. Function setting unit 140 performs a setting so as to, when mode dial 10 sets the certain photography mode to the moving image photography mode, achieve a first function using common terminal 12, and, when mode dial 10 sets the certain photography mode to the still image photography mode, achieve a second function using common terminal 12. Function setting unit 140 does not achieve the second function in the moving image photography mode, and does not achieve the first function in the still image photography mode.

  • Publication number: 20180019552
    Abstract: The electronic device of the present disclosure has a mounting section, a voltage determiner, and an attach-detach detector. The mounting section accepts a removable, externally-connected device and connects to a data line into which a unit signal having a data period for transmitting a data signal and a detection period for transmitting a detection signal is fed from the externally-connected device. The voltage determiner determines an electric potential of the data line so as to have a first logical value when the externally-connected device is detached from the mounting section. The attach-detach detector detects whether the externally-connected device is mounted on, or detached from the mounting section by detecting the detection signal of the first logical value determined by the voltage determiner or a second logical value.
