Abstract: A first movable barrel is rotated and moved along an optical path by driving force of a motor. A second movable barrel is attached to the interior of the first movable barrel. The second movable barrel does not rotate, but goes straight along the optical path together with the first movable barrel. Inside the second movable barrel, is rotatably attached a lens turret in which a plurality of lenses are concentrically arranged. The lens turret is intermittently rotated in accordance with a rotation of the first movable barrel to set one of the lenses at the optical path. Each lens is set to the optical path at a position where back focus is taken into consideration, so that a focal length of a taking lens is changed. When the lens turret goes straight together with the second movable barrel without rotating, focusing is performed at the set focal length. A magnification of a viewfinder optical system is changed in association with a rotation of the lens turret.

A phase detection circuit performs phase control based on the phase difference between the third clock signal and an input signal, and a frequency detection circuit fetches the first and second clock signals in synchronism with the input signal and performs frequency control based on the fetched signals.

Abstract: A plurality of datagram VCCs, each of which is exclusively for connectionless transfer of data, are established between mutually adjacent exchanges in advance, one of these datagram VCCs is assigned exclusively for connectionless data communication and connectionless communication is performed using this datagram VCC. Specifically, an originating terminal disassembles connectionless data into data cells, inserts a cell (a leading cell), which indicates the destination address of a terminal that is the destination of the data, at the head of the data cells and then sends the leading cell to the exchange prior to the data cells. The exchange assigns a prescribed datagram VCC for connectionless communication upon referring to the destination terminal address indicated by the leading cell and thenceforth uses this VCC to transmit data cells having line identifier identical with that of the leading cell.
