Abstract
An image capturing apparatus on which, and from which, an accessory is mountable and dismountable includes a plurality of terminals disposed in a circumferential direction of a mount, and a terminal holder. The terminal holder has a height level difference for holding the terminals at different positions in a center-axis direction of the mount. The terminals include a first terminal configured to be used to supply power for driving an internal component of the accessory, and a second terminal configured to indicate a ground level corresponding to the first terminal. The second terminal is disposed nearer in a mount direction of the accessory than the other terminals on a predetermined stage of the terminal holder, and is connected to a corresponding one of a plurality of terminals of the accessory first among the terminals when the accessory is mounted on the image capturing apparatus.
