Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a communication unit, an automatic adjustment mechanism and a camera controller. The communication unit receives lens-side information from a lens apparatus. The automatic adjustment mechanism adjusts a position of the imaging element. The camera controller controls the position of the imaging element, which is adjusted by the automatic adjustment mechanism according to a spherical aberration variation, based on the lens-side information.
Claims7
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging element;
- a communication unit that receives lens-side information from a lens apparatus;
- an automatic adjustment mechanism that adjusts a position of the imaging element;
- and
- a camera controller that controls the position of the imaging element, which is adjusted by the automatic adjustment mechanism according to a spherical aberration variation, based on the lens-side information,
- wherein the communication unit receives information on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor attached to the lens apparatus, and
- the camera controller controls the position of the imaging element based on the temperature information with respect to the spherical aberration variation caused by the temperature, the position of the imaging element being adjusted by the automatic adjustment mechanism.
