An endoscope system according to the present invention comprises an endoscope which acquires internal images of a subject by inserting a distal end thereof into a body cavity of the subject and a processing device which is communicatively connected to the endoscope and performs a prescribed image process on the internal image acquired by the endoscope, wherein the endoscope includes a sensor unit which generates an electrical signal by photoelectric conversion of light from outside, an output unit which converts the electrical signal into a light signal and outputs the light signal to the processing device, a detection unit which detects a connection status between the endoscope and processing device, and an output limiting means which limits output of the light signal received by the processing device on the basis of the detection result of the detection unit, and wherein the processing device includes a reception unit which receives the light signal output by the output unit and converts the light signal into an electrical signal. |
