To enable to display a scale indicative of a reference length on a screen of a display at an accurate length even when exchanging the lens in an image pickup apparatus to any lens. In a case of mounting an exchange lens (F,Z) to an image pickup apparatus main body () and displaying an image of an object picked up by an image sensor () and a scale () indicative of a reference length in juxtaposition on a screen of a display (), a previously measured optical magnification or an actual magnification is outputted from optical magnification outputting means () provided to the exchange lens (F,Z) is outputted, an actual magnification on the screen of the display () is calculated based on the optical magnification, the size for the image sensor and the screen size, and the size of the scale on the screen is set based on the actual magnification and the reference length of the scale by a scale setting means ().

Image pickup apparatus, image pickup lens, and data writing method to image pickup lens

A lighting apparatus in which plural light emitting devices for illuminating light to an object to be illuminated from the periphery thereof are put to light control, and a control device is provided for controlling light to the light emitting devices on every segment divided isogonally with respect to the lighting center at which the light is focused by a control device, wherein the control devicecomprises an illuminance distribution setterthat sets the illuminance on every segments Sto Sindividually in accordance with the start position of a vector that represents the lighting direction to the lighting center F on the XY coordinate plane D with the lighting center F being as an origin P, and a light controllerthat reads out the illuminance on every segment from the illuminance distribution setterin accordance with the input data from a two dimensional data input devicethat sets the start position and controls the light.
