Abstract
Provided is an image processing system having a camera section and a main body section which are separable one from the other in which three separate exclusive buses are used for data communication between the camera section and the main body section, the three separate exclusive buses being: a first exclusive bus for transferring from the camera section to the main body section image data to check a subject on a display unit of the main body section before an image to be recorded is picked up on the main body section side; a second exclusive bus for transferring the image file to be recorded on the main body section side from the camera section to the main body section; and a third exclusive bus for transferring control data between the camera section and the main body section.
Claims12
An image processing system having a camera section and a main body section which are separable one from the other, the image processing system comprising:
- a first bus for transferring from the camera section to the main body section image data to check a subject on a display unit of the main body section before an image to be recorded is picked up on the main body section side;
- a second bus for transferring the image file to be recorded on the main body section side from the camera section to the main body section;
- and
- a third bus for transferring control data between the camera section and the main body section,
- wherein the first bus, the second bus, and the third bus are independently used for data communication.
A method of communicating data between a camera section and a main boy section in an image processing system having the camera section and the main body section which are separable one from the other, the image processing system comprising the steps of:
- using a first bus to transfer from the camera section to the main body section image data to check a subject on a display unit of the main body section before an image to be recorded is picked up on the main body section side;
- using a second bus to transfer the image file to be recorded on the main body section side from the camera section to the main body section;
- and
- using a third bus to transfer control data between the camera section and the main body section,
- wherein the first bus, the second bus, and the third bus are independently used for data communication.
