  • Patent number: 11722766
    Abstract: Provided are a camera system, a camera, an interchangeable lens, and a compatibility determination method of a camera system capable of simply and quickly determining compatibility between the camera and the interchangeable lens. An eleventh contact (CC11) provided in a camera (10) and an eleventh contact (LC11) provided in an interchangeable lens (100) are composed of contacts in which an open drain output is possible. In a case where the camera (10) supports a specific function, the eleventh contact (CC11) on a camera-side is set to a first polarity. In a case where the camera (10) does not support the specific function, the eleventh contact (CC11) on the camera side is set to a second polarity. In a case where the interchangeable lens (100) supports the specific function, the eleventh contact (LC11) on an interchangeable lens-side is set to the first polarity.
