Abstract:
1. A camera body to which can be mounted an interchangeable lens unit for forming an optical image of a subject, the camera body comprising: a body mount to which the interchangeable lens unit is removably mounted; a first imaging sensor configured to convert the optical image into first image data by opto-electric conversion; an information acquisition section configured to acquire imaging sensor information from the interchangeable lens unit; and an imaging sensor selector that selects the first imaging sensor as a selected imaging sensor on the basis of the imaging sensor information when an interchangeable lens unit configured to guide an optical image to the first imaging sensor is mounted to the body mount, and selects a second imaging sensor as the selected imaging sensor on the basis of the imaging sensor information when an interchangeable lens unit having the second imaging sensor is mounted to the body mount.
