Abstract
A motion compensation system for a camera including a detachable lens barrel and a camera body. The motion compensation system identifies whether the detection of motion compensation is possible within the camera body. In response to a lens status command to the lens barrel from camera body, the lens barrel transmits to the camera body data indicating whether the detection of motion by a motion sensor or a sensor circuit is possible. Upon receiving the data, the camera body identifies whether the detection of motion is possible.
