Abstract:
The image-capturing apparatus includes a camera communicator configured to provide, with the accessory apparatus, a first data communication channel used for transmitting accessory data from the accessory apparatus to the image-capturing apparatus, and a second data communication channel used for transmitting camera data from the image-capturing apparatus to the accessory apparatus; and a camera controller configured to perform communication with the accessory apparatus through the camera communicator. The camera controller and the accessory apparatus are configured to be capable of switching their communication modes between a first communication mode and a second communication mode. The camera controller is configured to cause the accessory apparatus to transmit the accessory data whose settings of parity bits are different between in the first and second communication modes.

Claim (Index 8):
An image-capturing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the camera controller is configured to perform asynchronous communication with the accessory apparatus; the camera communicator is configured to provide three channels that are a communication request channel used for providing a communication request from the image-capturing apparatus to the accessory apparatus, and the first and second data communication channels; and the camera controller is configured (a) to provide the communication request to the accessory apparatus through the communication request channel to cause the accessory apparatus to transmit the accessory data to the camera controller through the first data communication channel, and (b) to transmit the camera data to the accessory apparatus through the second data communication channel.
