Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a second mount configured to bayonet-couple with a first mount. The second mount has multiple contact points disposed in a circumferential direction that are to be electrically connected to multiple contact faces on the first mount when coupled. The number of the contact points is an even number of four or larger. When viewing the imaging apparatus in a normal position from the second mount side, a line extending from a center axis of the second mount in the gravitational direction and an opposite direction is a first mount center line, and a line orthogonal thereto is a second mount center line. The contact pins include a first contact pin that overlaps the first mount center line, and second and third contact pins at both ends in the circumferential direction of the second mount, with generally the same distance to the second mount center line.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging apparatus, comprising:\n a second mount configured to bayonet couple with a first mount on an accessory, wherein the second mount has a plurality of contact pins disposed following the circumferential direction of the second mount, and configured for electrical connection to a plurality of contact faces provided on first mount in a case that the second mount is bayonet-coupled to the first mount, the number of the plurality of contact pins being an even number that is four or larger, wherein, when viewing the imaging apparatus in a normal position from the second mount side to which the first mount is coupled, a line extending from a center axis of the second mount in the gravitational direction and an opposite direction from the gravitational direction is taken as a first mount center line, and a line orthogonal to the center axis and the first mount center line is taken as a second mount center line, wherein the plurality of contact pins include a first contact pin that overlaps the first mount center line in the radial direction of the second mount, and wherein the plurality of contact pins include a second contact pin and a third contact pin that are situated at opposite ends of the plurality of contact pins in the circumferential direction of the second mount, and that have substantially same distance to the second mount center line.
