Provided is a distance detection device attached to a position at which it surrounds a camera lens device. The distance detection device has a light emitting element configured to irradiate a target region with irradiation light and a light receiving element configured to receive reflected light of the irradiation light from a target in the target region. The distance detection device acquires distance information indicating a distance to the target on the basis of a time until the light receiving element receives the reflected light after the light emitting element performs irradiation with the irradiation light and communicates the distance information.

Distance detection device and imaging apparatus

A lighting device that can prevent the progress of minute cracks generated in a flexible substrate or the occurrence of minute cracks themselves, and the flexible substrate. A flexible substrate, that electrically connect a light emitting portion movable relative to a main body portion of the lighting device, has a soldering portion that is soldered to the light emitting portion at one end, a connection portion that is connected to the light emission control portion at another end, a communication portion that connects the soldering portion and the connection portion, and two xenon wires and two trigger wires that are arranged in the communication portion in a longitudinal direction. In the communication portion, of the four wires, the two xenon wires are arranged between the two trigger wires.

Lighting device and flexible substrate connecting light emitting portion thereof

An imaging apparatus includes a USB connector compliant with a USB standard, and is configured to be electrically connectable to a device including an adaptor apparatus via the USB connector. The imaging apparatus includes a system control circuit that detects whether the adaptor apparatus is electrically connected via the USB connector, and a switch that performs processing for changing a signal group to be assigned to terminals of the USB connector, according to a result of detection by the system control circuit.

Imaging apparatus, method for controlling the same, and imaging system

A mechanism that achieves size reduction of an electronic apparatus by reducing the axial size of a plurality of tiers of rotation operation members that can be rotationally operated independently of each other. An electronic apparatus includes a holder fixed to an exterior member thereof, a mode dial rotatably supported by the holder, and an exposure correction dial disposed in a manner axially opposed to the mode dial and rotatably supported by the holder. A first click mechanism generates a click force when the mode dial is rotated, and a second click mechanism generates a click force when the exposure correction dial is rotated. The first click mechanism and the second click mechanism are arranged in a space in which the mode dial and the exposure correction dial are axially opposed to each other.

Electronic apparatus provided with a plurality of tiers of rotation operation members

A light-emitting-part holder moves between a housing position in which the light-emitting-part holder is housed in a housing part formed in a strobe base and a light emission position in which the light-emitting-part holder projects from the housing part. One end of an arm member is supported by the light-emitting-part holder, and the other end thereof is supported by the strobe base. An arm cover member holds a magnet, and in a case where the arm member is housed in the housing part, the arm cover member is fixed to the face of the arm member facing the housing part. A part of a light-emitting-part flexible board (flexible wire member) is disposed between the magnet held by the arm cover member and the arm member.
