Abstract:
A technique in multi-light control capable of notifying an image pickup apparatus of charge completion information items of a plurality of lighting devices. A lighting device is wirelessly communicably connected to other lighting devices, and is communicably attached to an image pickup apparatus so as to be driven in synchronism with the other lighting devices. First charge completion information of the lighting device itself and second charge completion information of the other lighting devices are transmitted to the image pickup apparatus either in a combined state or in a separate state. If it is determined that an instruction for transmitting the first charge completion information and the slave charge completion information in the separate state has been received from the image pickup apparatus, the first charge completion information and the slave charge completion information are transmitted to the image pickup apparatus in the separate.

Claim (Index 3):
The lighting device according to  claim 1 , wherein the transmission unit transmits a combined information item of the first charge completion information and the second charge completion information to the image pickup apparatus by digital communication, and\n wherein out of the first charge completion information and the second charge completion information as separate information items, the transmission unit transmits the first charge completion information to the image pickup apparatus by digital communication, and transmits the second charge completion information to the image pickup apparatus by analog communication.
