Abstract
In a camera body capable of connecting to an electronic terminal, an imaging element captures an image of a subject and generates a live-view image. A transmission unit transmits the live-view image to the electronic terminal. A reception unit 191b receives, from the electronic terminal, an imaging request for the camera body. A body controller controls the imaging element, the transmission unit, and the reception unit. The body controller executes imaging performed by the imaging element and acquires a first image frame, which is a captured image, in response to the imaging request. The transmission unit transmits the live-view image to the electronic terminal after the imaging request without any interruption caused by transmission of the first image frame in response the imaging request.
