Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a connector that is directly connectable to a bus of an information processing apparatus that is separate from the imaging apparatus. This enables the set-up of the various parameters of the imaging apparatus to be performed rapidly while the imaging apparatus is directly electrically connected to the bus of the information processing apparatus, which can be, for example, a personal computer. The connector is coupled to a controller of the imaging apparatus. The imaging apparatus can also include a photographic lens and a photoelectric converter arranged relative to the photographic lens to receive light focused by the photographic lens. The photoelectric converter outputs an image signal of an object based on the image formed by the photographic lens. The controller is coupled to the photoelectric converter to control the imaging apparatus. According to one embodiment, the connector is a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association-conforming connection terminal.
