Abstract

An image sensing apparatus on which a plurality of lens units are interchangeably mountable includes a system controller configured to acquired information specific to a mounted lens unit from the mounted lens unit, a detection unit configured to detect a focus shift amount of the mounted lens unit, a display circuit configured to display the specific information acquired by the system controller in association with a focus correction value for correcting the focus shift amount detected by the detection unit, an operation switch configured to be operated by a user, and a setting unit that sets the focus correction value according to an operation on the operation switch.

Claims (30)

1. An image sensing apparatus on which a plurality of lens units are interchangeably mountable, the apparatus comprising:

a recording unit configured to record image data obtained by image sensing;

an acquisition unit configured to acquire information corresponding to an open F value of a mounted lens unit from the mounted lens unit;

a detection unit configured to detect a focus shift amount of the mounted lens unit;

a display unit configured to display a correction amount, in a form of a scale, for correcting the focus shift amount detected by the detection unit so as to be selectable by selecting a division value of the scale;

an operation member configured to be operated by a user; and

a controller that corrects the focus shift amount detected by the detection unit by a selected correction amount,

wherein the correction amount related to one division of the scale is determined on the basis of the information corresponding to the open F value, and

wherein the controller records information corresponding to the selected correction amount in association with the image data obtained by image sensing.

2. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the acquisition unit further acquires specific information pertinent to the mounted lens unit, the image sensing apparatus further comprising:

a storage unit configured to store the specific information acquired by the acquisition unit, in association with the selected correction amount; and

a determination unit configured to determine whether a correction amount corresponding to the specific information acquired by the acquisition unit is stored in the storage unit, if the mounted lens unit is interchanged, wherein

if it is determined by the determination unit that a corresponding correction amount is stored, the display unit reads the corresponding correction amount from the storage unit in advance of setting the correction amount, and displays the scale which is selectable by a division that is determined on the basis of the obtained open F value.

3. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display unit reads the correction amount before displaying the correction amount.

4. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , the display unit displays a name of the mounted lens unit in association with the correction amount.

5. A control method for an image sensing apparatus on which a plurality of lens units are interchangeably mountable, the method comprising:

recording image data obtained by image sensing;

acquiring information corresponding to an open F value of a mounted lens unit from the mounted lens unit;

detecting a focus shift amount of the mounted lens unit;

displaying a correction amount, in a form of a scale, for correcting the detected focus shift amount so as to be selectable by selecting a division value of the scale;

correcting the detected focus shift amount by a selected correction amount; and

recording information corresponding to the selected correction amount in association with the image data,

wherein the correction amount related to one division of the scale is determined on the basis of the information corresponding to the open F value.

6. The control method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

acquiring specific information pertinent to a mounted lens unit from the mounted lens unit;

storing the acquired specific information in a storage unit in association with the selected correction amount; and

determining whether a correction amount corresponding to the acquired specific information is stored in the storage unit, if the lens unit is interchanged,

wherein if it is determined that a corresponding correction amount is stored, the corresponding correction amount is read from the storage unit in advance of setting the correction amount, and

the scale which is selectable by a division that is determined on the basis of the obtained open F value is displayed.

7. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the correction amount is read before displaying the correction amount.
