Image capturing system
First Claim
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- an image generator for shooting a subject and for generating an image signal;
an image processor for receiving the image signal generated by the image generator and for generating moving image data;
a receiver for receiving, from an operation apparatus, information on a moving image function that can be executed by the operation apparatus;
a controller for causing the image processor to perform an image processing based on the information on the moving image function; and
a transmitter for transmitting, to the operation apparatus, moving image data processed based on the information on the moving image function.

Abstract
When an image capturing apparatus and an operation apparatus become connected to each other, function information is transmitted from the image capturing apparatus to the operation apparatus. The operation apparatus can recognize the functions effective in the image capturing apparatus by receiving the function information from the image capturing apparatus. The operation apparatus compares the received function information with the functions that can be processed by the operation apparatus, and sets the protocol. The protocol includes ones that is associated with a moving image attribute associated with moving image data and that is associated with the shooting function of the image capturing apparatus. Then, the operation apparatus transmits protocol information to the image capturing apparatus. Thereafter, the image capturing apparatus and the operation apparatus perform data communication based on the protocol.
