A search range for detecting the peak position of an envelope on a rotating magnetic recording medium is limited to a predetermined range on either side of an absolute track position of each track on the recording medium. A limitation is also placed upon the number of times a magnetic head is fed within this predetermined range. If a peak cannot be decided even when the magnetic head is fed the limited number of times, the final position of the magnetic head is adopted compulsorily as the peak position. As a result it is possible to reduce the time needed for peak position detection processing. When an envelope cannot be detected with the predetermined range, the absolute track position is adopted as the peak position.

A camera having an ordinary automatic exposure function which automatically decides a proper shutter speed and f-stop based on the results of photometry is additionally provided with a slow-photography mode. When the camera is set to the slow-photography mode, a predetermined shutter speed and f-stop outside a range of shutter speeds and f-stops capable of being set by ordinary automatic exposure control is set. This makes it possible to photograph night scenes, fireworks displays and the like. Photography is possible even in a light-value region in which the camera shutter would be locked against release in ordinary automatic exposure control owing to too little light.

A memory card has a volatile semiconductor memory for storing therein image data, a built-in battery as a backup power for preserving the image data in the volatile semiconductor memory, and a non-volatile memory for storing therein data related to an alarm of a decrease in a voltage of the built-in battery. When the memory card is loaded on the digital, electronic, still camera, the data concerning the alarm state is read from the loaded memory card and the voltage value of the battery is sensed. If the value of the battery voltage thus determined is less than a threshold voltage attained from the data read from the memory card, an alarm is notified.

In a camera having a power source shared between a charging circuit for a strobe emission and a camera function section other than the charging circuit, the charging operation is inhibited during an operation of the camera function section and a battery check is inhibited during the charging operation. As a result, a runaway of a CPU of the camera due to the voltage reduction of the power source in the charging operation is avoided; moreover, inhibition of a shooting operation due to the battery check is prevented, thereby efficiently utilizing the battery capacity.

An object of the present invention is to form a highly accurate current source for D/A converters. Letters from a1 to an where n is at least 4 represent current source cells that output constant currents, each of which is composed of MOS transistors etc. These current source cells are arranged in two dimensional matrix and a plurality of these current source cells are connected to form a current source that has a predetermined current value. Current source cells in any one row of the two dimensional matrix are labeled with letters from a1 to an. A first kind of row is in the same order as this row. A second kind of row is obtained from the first kind of row by exchanging a series of elements being letters from ai to ai+j where both i and j are integers at least 1 and i+j is an integer not more than n/2 with a series of elements being letters from ak to ak+j where k is an integer larger than n/2 and k+j is an integer not more than n. The two dimensional matrix comprises a same number of these two kinds of row.

An object of the present invention is to bring a video signal obtained by imaging into a proper level without use of a controllable diaphragm. An imaging apparatus is provided with no controllable diaphragm. Peak detection is performed by a peak detecting circuit for each vertical scanning interval. A peak value is applied to a control device. Necessary shutter speed control in a shutter control circuit, gain control in a pre-amplifier circuit and gain control in a GCA are carried out. Consequently, the level of the video signal obtained by the imaging is adjusted to a proper level without controlling a diaphragm, to obtain an image of proper brightness.

A distance to an object is measured for each of a series of left images, and the count of a distance range including the calculated distance increases. A distance range with the highest frequency of appearance is specified from the counter information of a distance table counter, and a left image in which the distance included in the specified distance range is measured is selected. The adjustment amount of the parallax amount adjusted for the selected left image and a corresponding right image is determined to be the adjustment amount of the parallax amount of a panorama image. A series of left images is combined to generate a panorama image and a series of right images is combined to generate a panorama image. A panorama image displayed in stereoscopic view is generated based on the determined adjustment amount of the parallax amount.
