Abstract
A camera system includes a camera body and an external device which supplies a control instruction for changing a predetermined function of the camera body to the camera body. It is determined in the camera body whether the control instruction is received. When it determined that no control instruction is received, a first function initially set in the camera body is rendered active. When it is determined that the control instruction is received, a second function is rendered active bored on a control instruction.
