12. A system for controlling an external lens, comprising:
-
a main device, configured to use a control program to receive a control operation, and accordingly send a corresponding control command; and a first lens module, comprising; a first connecting interface, connected to the main device, and configured to receive the control command sent by the main device; a first image capturing unit, configured to capture a first image; a first memory unit, configured to store the control program; and a first processing unit, coupled to the first connecting interface, the first image capturing unit and the first memory unit, and configured to execute a camera function corresponding to the control command, transmit an execution result of the camera function to the main device through the first connecting interface, so as to display the execution result by the main device, wherein when the first lens module is connected to the main device through the first connecting interface, the main device downloads the control program from the first memory unit of the first lens module and installs the control program therein. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
