Abstract
In a first communication mode, a control unit controls a signal level of one contact based on a first command received from an imaging apparatus via another contact and a signal level indicated by an accessory device via yet another contact. In a second communication mode, the control unit receives a second command indicating the second communication mode and data via another contact. After the reception, the control unit transmits the data via still another contact. The control unit controls communication in the second communication mode based on the signal level of the one contact and the second command.
