Abstract:
To provide an interchangeable lens, a camera system, a communication method, and a program in which lens data can be caused to be efficiently stored in an interchangeable lens, necessity of storing the lens data in the accessory can be eliminated by storing lens data in a case where an accessory is not mounted on the interchangeable lens and lens data in a case where the accessory is mounted on the interchangeable lens, and it is unnecessary to have a particular function of transmitting appropriate lens data to the accessory. An interchangeable lens includes a specifying unit that specifies a mounted accessory by acquiring identification information from the accessory, a storage unit including a first storage area that stores first lens data and a second storage area that stores one or a plurality of pieces of second lens data, a third lens data generation unit, and a lens control unit.

Claim (Index 19):
A communication method of the camera system according to  claim 1  including the first mount including a plurality of terminals on which the accessory or the camera body is mounted, and the storage unit including the first storage area for storing first lens data which is lens data in a case where the accessory is not mounted, and the second storage area for storing one or the plurality of pieces of second lens data, the second lens data being differential data between lens data in a case where the accessory is mounted, the lens data being obtained by correcting the first lens data on the basis of optical characteristics of the accessory, and the first lens data, the communication method comprising:\n a step of determining whether or not the accessory is mounted on the first mount and specifying the mounted accessory by acquiring identification information from the accessory in a case where it is determined that the accessory is mounted; \n a step of generating third lens data that is lens data obtained by correcting the first lens data on the basis of the optical characteristics of the accessory using the second lens data as the differential data and the first lens data; and \n a step of transferring the first lens data stored in the storage unit or the third lens data generated in the third lens data generation step to the camera body on the basis of a result output in the specifying step in a case where there is a lens data acquisition request from the camera body.
