Abstract

In a camera body, a VBAT terminal and PGND terminal are both disposed adjacent to a TYPE terminal. In a case where the voltage of the TYPE terminal is a voltage of a first voltage range that does not include the VBAT voltage and does not include the voltage of the PGND terminal, a camera control unit distinguishes the mounted lens apparatus to be a first lens apparatus. In a case where the voltage of the TYPE terminal is a voltage of a second voltage range that is a voltage range different from the first voltage range, does not include the VBAT voltage and does not include the voltage of the PGND terminal, the camera control unit distinguishes the mounted lens apparatus to be a second lens apparatus.
