Abstract

Disclosed is an interchangeable lens system which comprises an interchangeable lens and a camera. The interchangeable lens includes a driving circuit controlled by data transmitted from the camera to the lens such that it displaces a controlled member of the lens, a detection circuit for detecting a displacement of the driving circuit, and a correction circuit for converting the output characteristics of the detection circuit into predetermined common characteristics. The camera includes a control circuit for driving the driving circuit in the interchangeable lens in response to the output of the detection circuit in the interchangeable lens.
