- the camera is the communication master side between the camera and the interchangeable lens.
- the signal DOC is communication data output from the camera side and input from the lens side
- the signal DOL is communication data output from the lens side and input from the camera side.
- the data of the signals DOC and DOL change in synchronization with the falling edge of the synchronous clock CLK, with 8 bits as one transmission unit, and at the rising edge of the synchronous clock CLK, the camera side sets the DOL data to the lens side.
- latching DOC data Is described as an example of latching DOC data. How the levels of the signals DOC and DOL change in synchronization with the falling edge of the synchronous clock CLK depends on the value of each bit of data to be transmitted, and is not described in detail.
- the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK is checked to determine whether or not the lens side is in the busy state (step 301).
- the state where the lens side has this terminal at the L level is the Busy state, and in this state, the camera cannot communicate with the lens including the synchronous clock CLK.
- the Busy state is a state incapable of waiting for communication.
- step 302 data DATA_C1 to be transmitted to the lens is set in the serial data transmission shift register, and serial communication in one transmission unit is performed.
- Data DATA_C1 transmitted to the lens is some command to the lens, and the response data from the lens responding to the command is data DATA_L2 at the time of communication of the next one transmission unit. Therefore, the data DATA_L1 sent from the lens to the camera at this time is non-corresponding (don't care) data that does not correspond to an instruction from the camera, so that it is not particularly read and treated.
- the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK is checked to determine whether or not the lens side is in the busy state (step 303). While the lens side analyzes the content of the transmitted data DATA_C1 and performs processing corresponding thereto, the terminal from which the interchangeable lens outputs the synchronization signal CLK is set to L level. As a result, the synchronization signal CLK becomes busy, so that the process is completed and the interchangeable lens waits until the terminal that outputs the synchronization signal CLK is set to the H level. That is, the process proceeds to step 304 after waiting for the interchangeable lens side not to be in the Busy state.
- data DATA_C2 to be transmitted to the interchangeable lens is set in the serial data transmission shift register, and serial communication for one transmission unit is performed (step 304). If the data DATA_C1 transmitted in step 302 is a command for transmitting lens-specific information to the camera, the content of the data DATA_C2 is non-corresponding data. In this case, the data DATA_L2 sent from the lens includes the answer information of the data DATA_C1. The received data DATA_L2 is taken into the reception shift register (step 305).
- the microcomputer 21 on the interchangeable lens side becomes the slave side for communication. Therefore, the reception of serial communication in one transmission unit from the camera is detected by a communication interrupt function that generates an interrupt signal when the number of falling edges of the synchronous clock signal CLK is counted a predetermined number.
- the terminal that receives the synchronous clock signal CLK is set to the L level so that the camera can determine that the lens side is in the Busy state (step 401).
- the transmission data DATA_C1 from the camera input to the reception shift register is input and the content is analyzed.
- the transmission data from the camera is DATA_C1, since DATA_C2 or the like may be sent after that, it is described as DATA_Cx in the flowchart (step 402).
- step 403 if the content of the transmission data DATA_C1 from the camera is an actuator driving command on the interchangeable lens side, the process proceeds to step 404.
- step 404 the actuator on the interchangeable lens side is driven according to the content of the transmission data DATA_C1 from the camera. It is determined whether or not the processing related to driving of the actuator on the lens side is completed and communication from the next camera can be received (step 405). If reception is possible, the process proceeds to step 407.
- step 403 If the content of the transmission data DATA_C1 from the camera is a data transmission request specific to the interchangeable lens in step 403, the process proceeds to step 406.
- step 406 the lens-specific data requested according to the transmission data DATA_C1 from the camera is set in the transmission shift register.
- step 407 the terminal that receives the synchronous clock signal CLK is set to the H level so that the camera can determine that the lens side is no longer in the Busy state.
- the amount of data to be communicated to perform high-precision exposure control and autofocus control is over multiple transmission units, and it is necessary to update information sequentially each time the zoom position or distance ring position of the interchangeable lens changes.
- Cameras need to communicate frequently. Since the microcomputer on the camera side communicates while waiting for the lens to be released each time, there is a problem that the operation performance is not improved as expected even if the frequency of the synchronous clock signal CLK is increased. The microcomputer on the lens side frequently generates a communication interruption from the camera, and each time a busy signal must be preferentially processed for outputting and canceling the Busy signal, there is also a problem that the operation performance does not increase. .
- FIG. 7 is a setting operation flowchart regarding communication of the camera system including the camera and the interchangeable lens according to the present invention. The operation flow of each of the camera side and interchangeable lens side microcomputers will be described later. FIG. 7 will be described as an overall flow of operation.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 sets the communication control circuit 33 and the IO control circuits 35 to 37 by synchronous communication as the initial setting of the communication system with the interchangeable lens (step 101). This is because both I-type lenses and II-type lenses can be used.

- the transmission data TXD signal from the interchangeable lens to the camera is output from the input / output terminal 46
- the transmission data RXD signal from the camera to the interchangeable lens is input from the input / output terminal 47.
- step 102 Communication between the camera and the interchangeable lens is performed using a synchronization method.
- the timing chart of the synchronous communication, the operation flow of the camera side microcomputer 13 and the lens side microcomputer 21 will be described later with reference to FIGS.
- the camera side transmits a lens information transmission command using DATA_C1.
- the lens information transmission command is information indicating whether the interchangeable lens is the type and name of the interchangeable lens or whether it is an I-type lens that cannot handle asynchronous communication or an II-type lens that can support asynchronous communication. Is a command for instructing transmission from the camera to the camera side.
- the interchangeable lens side When the interchangeable lens side receives a lens information transmission command, it transmits lens information corresponding to this to the camera via DATA_L2.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 analyzes the received lens information DATA_L2 to determine whether the mounted interchangeable lens is an I-type lens that cannot handle asynchronous communication or an II-type lens that can support asynchronous communication ( Step 103). If it is determined that the mounted interchangeable lens is a type II lens, the camera side microcomputer 13 proceeds to step 104.
- the camera communicates with the interchangeable lens again in a synchronous manner, and transmits a command to output a pulse for measurement for baud rate adjustment when performing asynchronous communication (step 104). Details of the baud rate adjustment will be described later.
- asynchronous communication data is communicated without using the synchronous clock signal transmitted from the CLK terminal 25, and therefore the data communication speed is adjusted.
- the lens side When the command is received, the lens side outputs a pulse for baud rate adjustment when performing asynchronous communication so that the camera can measure.
- a baud rate adjustment pulse output timing chart for setting the communication speed will be described later with reference to FIG.
- step 105 the camera-side microcomputer 13 adjusts the baud rate of asynchronous communication in consideration of the relative oscillation frequency accuracy deviation of the lens-side microcomputer 21 based on the count value of the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes obtained in step 104. To do.
- step 106 the camera-side microcomputer 13 changes the setting of the communication method with the interchangeable lens, and sets the communication control circuit 33 and the IO control circuits 35 to 37 so as to perform asynchronous communication.
- the lens-side microcomputer 21 also changes the setting of the communication method with the camera, and sets the communication control circuit 33 and the IO control circuits 35 to 37 so as to perform asynchronous communication. After executing this step, communication between the camera and the interchangeable lens is performed by asynchronous communication.
- step 103 If the mounted interchangeable lens is an I-type lens that cannot handle asynchronous communication, the process proceeds from step 103 to step 107 and the synchronous communication is continued.
- FIG. 8 is an example of a communication timing chart in asynchronous communication.
- an asynchronous data pattern at the baud rate set in the DOC signal is output.
- an L level start bit is output, and then a predetermined number of bits of data are output at a set baud rate.
- an H-level stop bit is output and transmission is completed. There is no need to output the CLK signal, and there is no need to receive the DOL signal simultaneously.
- the lens side transmits lens information to the camera in response to a command transmitted from the camera side, this is also output to the DOL signal when the lens side is ready for data transmission without using the CLK signal. It is done by doing.
- the communication protocol is the same as in the case of the DOC signal.
- the terminal used to transmit a drive command from the camera side to the lens side during asynchronous communication is not limited to the DOC terminal, and may be switched to the CLK terminal. In this case, it is necessary to switch the circuit so that the IO control circuit 35 is connected to the transmission shift register 53 on the camera side and the IO control circuit 35 is connected to the reception shift register 54 on the lens side.
- baud rate setting (or adjustment) in step 105 As an example of the baud rate setting (or adjustment) in step 105 described above, it is assumed that the baud rate of asynchronous communication decided in advance is 19200 bps.
- the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit of the lens-side microcomputer 21 is 10 MHz with no deviation, the lens-side microcomputer 21 can transmit and receive asynchronous communication data at a baud rate of 19200 bps.
- the frequency deviation is 19392 bps.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 sets the baud rate as a communication speed setting corresponding to the relative deviation of the oscillation frequency accuracy of the lens-side microcomputer 21.
- Fig. 9 shows an example of a timing chart related to the output of the baud rate adjustment pulse.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 transmits a command for requesting output of a baud rate adjusting pulse to the interchangeable lens using the camera-side transmission data DATA_C1 in FIG. Then, while the lens-side microcomputer 21 receives the data and analyzes the command, it performs Busy output by setting the CLK signal to L output. Thereafter, when the command analysis can be performed and the next communication can be received, the CLK signal is set to the H level to release the Busy and notify the camera.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 transmits transmission data DATA_C2 when the CLK signal becomes H level and learns that the lens-side busy is released.
- the data of the transmission data DATA_C2 in this case is non-corresponding data, and is simply transmitted as a timing trigger for outputting a baud rate adjusting pulse to the lens side.
- the lens side microcomputer 21 When the lens-side microcomputer 21 receives the transmission data DATA_C2 and a communication interrupt occurs, the lens side microcomputer 21 immediately outputs the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes by setting the CLK signal to L output.
- the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes which is a pulse for adjusting the communication speed, is output for a time corresponding to a predetermined clock count of the operation clock generated by the oscillation circuit 32 of the lens side microcomputer 21. For example, if the operation clock generated by the oscillation circuit 32 of the lens-side microcomputer 21 is 10 MHz and 65536 clocks are output, the baud rate adjustment pulse Tmes has a time width of 6.5536 msec. Pulse output is performed.
- the time width of the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes is 6.487 msec. It becomes. This is a time difference of 6.5536 msec. As an accuracy deviation of the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit of the lens side microcomputer 21. And the time width of 6.487 ms.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 starts the falling edge of the input / output terminal 45 after transmitting the transmission data DATA_C2, ends the rising edge of the input terminal 45, measures the time by the counter / timer circuit 34, and sets the time of the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes. Measure.
- the camera-side microcomputer 13 measures time by the counter / timer circuit 34 with a 16 MHz clock, 6.5536 msec. Is 104857 counts, and 6.487 msec. This time is 103819 counts. If the microcomputer 13 on the camera side measures time by the counter / timer circuit 34 with a clock of 16.16 MHz, 6.5536 msec. This time is 105906 counts. On the other hand, 6.487 msec. This time becomes 104857 counts. Therefore, by measuring the time of the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes, the camera-side microcomputer 13 can know the deviation of the oscillation frequency accuracy of the lens-side microcomputer 21 relative to its own oscillation frequency accuracy.
- the camera side microcomputer 13 sets the communication speed based on this deviation in accuracy.
- the communication control circuit 33 and the IO control circuits 35 to 37 are set so as to perform synchronous communication. Accordingly, the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK, which is a procedure for performing synchronous communication, is checked to determine whether or not the lens side is in the busy state (step 111). When the input level of the terminal that outputs the signal CLK is H level and the lens side is not in the Busy state, the process proceeds to Step 112.
- step 112 data DATA_C1 to be transmitted to the interchangeable lens is set in the transmission shift register to perform synchronous communication.
- the content of DATA_C1 is a lens information transmission command for knowing whether or not the interchangeable lens is an interchangeable lens type or name or whether it is a type II lens capable of asynchronous communication.
- step 113 the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK is checked to determine whether or not the lens side is in the busy state. While the lens side analyzes the content of the transmitted data DATA_C1 and performs a corresponding process, the terminal from which the interchangeable lens outputs the synchronization signal CLK is set to L level. Since it is in the Busy state, the process proceeds to Step 114 after waiting for the processing to be completed and the lens side not to be in the Busy state. In step 114, non-corresponding data DATA_C2 is set in the transmission shift register, and synchronous communication is performed. In step 115, DATA_L2, which is lens information sent from the interchangeable lens when DATA_C2 was sent in the previous step, is input from the reception shift register.
- step 116 the lens information input in the previous step is analyzed, and it is determined whether or not the currently mounted interchangeable lens is compatible with asynchronous communication. If the camera-side microcomputer 13 determines that the currently mounted interchangeable lens is a type II lens capable of asynchronous communication, the process proceeds to step 151 in FIG.
- step 151 the camera-side microcomputer 13 checks the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK to determine whether or not the lens side is in the busy state.
- the process proceeds to Step 152.
- step 152 data DATA_C1 to be transmitted to the interchangeable lens is set in the transmission shift register to perform synchronous communication.
- the content of DATA_C1 is a command for requesting the interchangeable lens to output a pulse to be measured for baud rate adjustment when performing asynchronous communication.
- step 153 the input level of the terminal that outputs the synchronous clock signal CLK is checked to determine whether or not the lens side is not in the busy state (step 153). If the input level of the terminal that outputs the signal CLK is H level and the lens side is not in the busy state, the process proceeds to step 154. In step 154, non-corresponding data DATA_C2 is set in the transmission shift register, and synchronous communication is performed.
- the interchangeable lens outputs the CLK signal to the L output to output the baud rate adjusting pulse Tmes (Step 155).

Abstract
Description
<カメラと交換レンズの回路構成>
図1は本発明を実施した交換レンズ2と当該交換レンズ2を装着可能なカメラ1の回路構成を表す図である。なお、交換レンズ2には、後述するようにCLK信号を出力せずに同期させることができる非同期通信を行うことができないI型レンズと、非同期通信を行うことができるII型レンズがある。カメラ1はマウント部3を、交換レンズ2はレンズマウント部4をそれぞれ有する。
図2はカメラ側マイクロコンピュータ13或いはレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21に内蔵される回路構成のうち、シリアル通信制御に関わる構成を示したものである。カメラ側マイクロコンピュータ13とレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21とは当然別物であるが、シリアル通信制御に関わる構成としては同一の構成要件を持っていて構わないので共通の図面で説明する。
図3は図2で示した通信制御回路33についてより詳細な構成を説明するための図である。クロック発生回路32が発生する様々な周波数のクロック信号はボーレートジェネレータ51に入力される。ボーレートジェネレータ51はデータバス40を通して送られてくる各種通信設定データに従って通信制御に必要なクロック信号を発生させる。通信設定データとしては通信のマスターかスレーブかの切替え、同期通信か非同期通信かの切替え、同期通信の場合の同期クロック周波数設定、非同期通信の場合の非同期サンプリングクロック周波数設定などがある。通信設定データにより同期通信及び通信マスターが設定されている場合は、同期通信の場合の同期クロック周波数設定値に従った同期クロック信号SCLKを出力する。通信設定データにより同期通信及び通信スレーブが設定されている場合は、同期クロック信号SCLKを入力することになる。同期クロック信号SCLKは52の送受信制御ブロックにも供給される。通信設定データにより非同期通信が設定されている場合は、非同期通信の場合の非同期サンプリングクロック周波数設定に従ったサンプリング用クロックを送受信制御ブロック52に供給する。送受信制御ブロック52はやはりデータバス40を通して送られてくる各種通信設定データに従って後述する送信シフトレジスタ53及び受信シフトレジスタ54にシフトクロックを供給したり、送受信のトリガ信号を入出力してシリアル通信のタイミング制御を行う。また、シリアル通信の送受信完了のタイミングで割り込み信号の発生も行う。
図4は同期通信によるカメラと交換レンズとの間のプロトコル例である。信号CLKは同期通信用の同期クロックである。また、この例では、カメラと交換レンズとの間でカメラが通信のマスター側になる。信号DOCはカメラ側が出力してレンズ側が入力する通信データ、信号DOLはレンズ側が出力してカメラ側が入力する通信データである。
図4記載の通信プロトコルに従ってカメラ側のマイクロコンピュータ13が交換レンズと通信を行う場合の制御フローについて図5に従って説明する。
次に図4記載の通信プロトコルに従って交換レンズ側のマイクロコンピュータ21がカメラと通信を行う場合の制御フローについて図6に従って説明する。
図7は本発明を実施したカメラと交換レンズとからなるカメラシステムの通信に関する設定動作フローチャートである。なお、カメラ側及び交換レンズ側マイクロコンピュータ個々の動作フローは後述する。図7では、全体的な動作の流れとして本図を説明する。
図8は非同期通信における通信タイミングチャート例である。カメラ側からレンズ側にレンズ情報の送信要求コマンド或いはレンズ側のアクチュエータの駆動コマンドを送信する場合は、DOC信号に設定されたボーレートでの非同期データパターンを出力する。まずLレベルのスタートビットを出力し、その後所定ビット数のデータを設定したボーレートにて出力する。所定ビット数のデータを出力し終えるとHレベルのストップビットを出力し送信が完了する。CLK信号を出力する必要は無いし、DOL信号を同時に受ける必要も無い。
上述したステップ105のボーレート設定(or調整)の例として、予め取り決めた非同期通信のボーレートが19200bpsであったとする。レンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21の発振回路の発振周波数がずれのない10MHzであった場合は、レンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21はボーレートが19200bpsでの非同期通信データ送受信ができる。しかし回路素子の誤差要因により10.1MHzにて発振しているレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21の場合はボーレートを19200bpsに設定したつもりでも、その周波数ずれの分19392bpsになってしまう。非同期通信の場合は同期クロックが存在しない分、こうした双方のボーレートずれが所定内に収まっていないとデータサンプリングエラーを起こして正常な送受信ができない。よって、カメラ側マイクロコンピュータ13は相対的なレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21の発振周波数精度ずれに相応した通信速度の設定としてボーレート設定を行う。
次にカメラ側マイクロコンピュータ13側における交換レンズとの通信設定に関する動作フローを図10から始まるフローチャートにて説明する。
続いてレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21側におけるカメラとの情報通信に関する動作フローを図12に示すフローチャートにて説明する。
以上説明した第1の実施形態は本発明を実施した代表的なカメラと交換レンズの実施形態であるが、考えられる実施形態の全てを表した訳ではない。
第1の実施形態においては交換レンズが出力するボーレート調整用パルスTmesの時間をカメラ側が測定することによりカメラ側がボーレート調整を行うものであった。この点、カメラが出力するボーレート調整用パルスTmesの時間をレンズが測定し、そのデータをカメラに送信することでカメラ側がボーレート調整を行うことも可能である。以下、第2の実施形態として図13から16を用いて具体的に説明する。
カメラ側マイクロコンピュータ13側における交換レンズとの通信設定に関する動作フローに関して、図10のステップ111から開始することと同様である。そして、第1の実施形態と同様なフローを進んで図10のステップ116にて現在装着されている交換レンズが非同期通信対応可能であるII型レンズであるか否かを判別する。
続いてレンズ側マイクロコンピュータ21側の第2の実施形態におけるカメラとの情報通信に関する動作フローを図14及び図15フローチャートにて説明する。
