Image capturing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

A control method for an image capturing apparatus including a lens unit, a camera body to which the lens unit is attachable, an operation member provided in the lens unit, and a control source changeover unit switching a control source, the control method comprising:

• performing change control of an image capturing setting value by a lens unit side according to an operation of the operation member in a case where the control source is a lens unit side;
• performing change control of the image capturing setting value by a camera body side in a case where the control source is a camera body side;
• switching a control source between the lens unit side and the camera body side with the control source changeover unit;
• and
• storing the image capturing setting value changed and controlled by the camera body side as a second image capturing setting value,
• wherein, in an integrated configuration in which the operation member and the control source changeover unit are integrated, when the control source changeover unit switches the control source to the camera body side, the second image capturing setting value stored in the storing step is changed and controlled in the second control step, and the camera body notifies the lens unit that the camera body side is the control source, and
• wherein, in a separate configuration in which the operation member and the control source changeover unit are separated, when the control source changeover unit switches the control source to the camera body side, the second image capturing setting value is updated in the second control step with a first image capturing setting value that is a latest image capturing setting value changed and controlled in the first control step, and the camera body notifies the lens unit that the camera body controls the updated image capturing setting value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an image capturing apparatus including a lens unit, a camera body to which the lens unit is attachable, an operation member provided in the lens unit, and a control source changeover unit switching a control source, the control method comprising:

• performing change control of an image capturing setting value by a lens unit side according to an operation of the operation member in a case where the control source is a lens unit side;
• performing change control of the image capturing setting value by a camera body side in a case where the control source is a camera body side;
• switching a control source between the lens unit side and the camera body side with the control source changeover unit;
• and
• storing the image capturing setting value changed and controlled by the camera body side as a second image capturing setting value,
• wherein, in an integrated configuration in which the operation member and the control source changeover unit are integrated, when the control source changeover unit switches the control source to the camera body side, the second image capturing setting value stored in the storing step is changed and controlled in the second control step, and the camera body notifies the lens unit that the camera body side is the control source, and
• wherein, in a separate configuration in which the operation member and the control source changeover unit are separated, when the control source changeover unit switches the control source to the camera body side, the second image capturing setting value is updated in the second control step with a first image capturing setting value that is a latest image capturing setting value changed and controlled in the first control step, and the camera body notifies the lens unit that the camera body controls the updated image capturing setting value.
