Abstract
A mounting apparatus for an interchangeable lens camera has a mount lock member which is provided on a body mount of a camera body and which can be disengageably engaged in a lock hole on the interchangeable lens mount. A mount lock releasing member moves in association with the mount lock member and retracts the mount lock member from the body mount when the mount lock member is pushed in. Contact members on the body mount and the lens mount are brought into contact with each other when the interchangeable lens is locked to the camera body, wherein the contact members provided on the camera body have contact pins which can retractably project from the body mount and which are continuously biased to project from the body mount. When the mount lock member is retracted from the body mount, the contact pins are also retracted from the body mount.
