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 (19)

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

an acquisition unit configured to acquire lens unit information from the mounted lens unit;

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

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

a display unit having a first mode and a second mode, wherein, in the first mode, the display unit performs display corresponding to the lens unit information acquired by the acquisition unit and display corresponding to a correction amount, operable by the operation member, for correcting the focus shift amount detected by the detection unit, and in the second mode, the display unit performs display corresponding to the correction amount, operable by the operation member, for correcting the focus shift amount detected by the detection unit,

wherein the first mode requires the lens unit being mounted and the second mode does not require the lens unit being mounted.

2. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising:

a storage unit configured to store the lens unit information acquired by the acquisition unit, in association with the correction amount operated by the operation member; and

a determination unit configured to determine whether a correction amount corresponding to the lens unit 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, and displays the read correction amount in association with the lens unit information in advance of an operation by the operation member.

3. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the lens unit information includes a name of the lens unit.

4. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the lens unit information includes a name of an extender attached to the lens unit.

5. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the acquisition unit acquires an open F value from the mounted lens unit, and the image sensing apparatus further comprises a scaling unit configured to scale the correction amount in accordance with the open F value.

6. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 5 further comprising a setting unit configured to set the correction amount in response to the operation of the operation member,

wherein the setting unit sets the correction amount by a value scaled by the scaling unit.

7. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising:

an image sensor configured to convert an incident optical image of an object into an image signal and output the image signal; and

a recording unit configured to record the lens unit information, acquired by the acquisition unit, of the lens unit mounted at the time of acquiring the image signal in association with a correction amount operated by the operation member.

8. The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the detection unit is configured to detect the focus shift amount for focusing on an object image.
