Abstract:
1. An imaging system, comprising: an imaging apparatus circuitry configured to: perform communication with an interchangeable lens, and transmit a transmission request of prediction information of a future state of a member included in the interchangeable lens, wherein the interchangeable lens includes a focus lens and an aperture as the member, the prediction information being state information on a state on a position of the focus lens and an aperture value of the aperture of the member, the state information related to the future state of the member after a predetermined time period in the future; and the interchangeable lens including circuitry configured to: perform communication with the imaging apparatus, obtain the current state information from the member and calculate the prediction information on the basis of the obtained state information and the predetermined time period, and control transmission of the calculated prediction information to the imaging apparatus.
