Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a USB connector compliant with a USB standard, and is configured to be electrically connectable to a device including an adaptor apparatus via the USB connector. The imaging apparatus includes a system control circuit that detects whether the adaptor apparatus is electrically connected via the USB connector, and a switch that performs processing for changing a signal group to be assigned to terminals of the USB connector, according to a result of detection by the system control circuit.

Claim (Index 17):
An imaging apparatus including a USB connector compliant with a USB standard, the imaging apparatus being configured to be electrically connectable to a device including an adaptor apparatus via the USB connector, the adaptor apparatus being capable of communications compliant with at least two USB standards having different communication speeds, the imaging apparatus comprising:\n a first detection unit configured to detect whether the adaptor apparatus is electrically connected via the USB connector; a second detection unit configured to, in a case where the first detection unit detects that the adaptor apparatus is connected, detect whether a first device and a second device are connected to the adaptor apparatus, the first device being configured to perform a low-speed one of the communications compliant with the two USB standards, the second device being configured to perform a high-speed one of the communications; and a signal assignment unit configured to perform processing for changing a signal group to be assigned to terminals of the USB connector according to a result of detection by the first detection unit and a result of detection by the second detection unit.
