摘要

An imaging apparatus includes a control unit to perform insertion/retraction of an infrared cut filter into and from an optical path of an imaging optical system; a reception unit to receive a third command to cause the control unit to automatically control insertion/retraction of the infrared cut filter; and a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the third command includes additional information based on the output of the reception unit; wherein, in the event that the determining unit has determined that the third command includes additional information, the control unit controls insertion/retraction of the infrared cut filter based on the additional information, and in the event that the determining unit has determined that the third command does not include additional information, the control unit controls insertion/retraction of the infrared cut filter based on control information which the control unit has beforehand.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus connected to an external client device via a network, the imaging apparatus comprising:
an imaging optical system; an imaging unit configured to image an image of a subject formed by the imaging optical system; an infrared cut filter configured to cut infrared light; an insertion/retraction unit configured to insertion and retraction the infrared cut filter to and from an optical path of the imaging optical system; a reception unit configured to receive, from the external client via the network, automatic adjustment information relating to insertion/retraction of the infrared cut filter, along with an automatic insertion/retraction control command for the imaging apparatus to automatically control insertion/retraction of the infrared cut filter by the insertion/retraction unit; a control unit configured to automatically control the insertion/retraction unit, based on the automatic insertion/retraction command received by the reception unit; and a transmission unit configured to transmit insertion/retraction specifying information relating to the automatic adjustment information to the external client via the network; wherein the insertion/retraction specifying information transmitted by the transmission unit indicates whether or not automatic adjustment information used by the control unit can be specified for each of a case where the infrared cut filter is inserted into the optical path and a case where the infrared cut filter is retracted from the optical path.
