In order to overcome such inconveniences that, when photo-taking a combination of serial images as in the case of the continuous shooting mode or the panorama joining image pickup mode, these images are stored extending over different directories, in an electronic still camera capable of storing in one directory a predetermined number of image files each of which is formed from data of an image picked up by an image sensor, a desired image pickup mode is selected from among a plurality of kinds of image pickup modes, and, when the selected image pickup mode is a predetermined image pickup mode, an image file is stored in a current directory even if the number of image files stored in the current directory exceeds the predetermined number.

A brake mechanism used in a vehicle comprises: a gear connected to an engine of the vehicle; a casing; a radial compressor disposed in the casing and having an impeller, an impeller shaft extending from the back of the impeller in the casing, a suction port, and an outlet port for sucking in air from the suction port, compressing it within the casing, and delivering it from the outlet port by the impeller; a gear that connects the impeller shaft with the engine output shaft gear; a shaft support for rotatably supporting the impeller shaft; and a recess formed in the back of the impeller for accepting the shaft support. The arrangement substantially raises the resonant vibration frequency of the impeller shaft due to a coupling imbalance derived from the impeller construction so that resonant vibration is prevented during ordinary engine operation since the length of the impeller shaft between the point of rotational support and its rear end is substantially elongated whereas the overhang, i.e., that distance between the point of rotational support to the impeller's center of gravity, is shortened. This arrangement, however, does not elongate the total length from the impeller tip to the impeller shaft rear end.

The brake system comprises a shaft interposed between two propeller shaft segments via universal joints, a radial compressor selectively connected with the shaft, a casing for housing the radial compressor and the shaft with the universal joints being outside the casing, and stay members mounted on the casing for allowing the casing to be suspended from the vehicle body. The brake system has a radial compressor which is selectively connected with the propeller shaft and consumes energy of the engine. The energy consumed is a result of the compressor serving as a brake force. The casing is fixed to the vehicle body so that the brake system also serves as a center bearing of the propeller shaft.

An energy recovery system for a motor vehicle having a gasoline engine and an exhaust energy recovery device disposed in an exhaust system of the engine. When the amount of depression of an accelerator pedal is zero and the speed of travel of the motor vehicle and/or the rotational speed of the engine is higher than a predetermined value, it is decided that an engine brake is applied to the motor vehicle at the time the motor vehicle is decelerated or runs down a slope. Then, fuel to be supplied to the engine is cut off, and the throttle valve is fully opened. As a result, the engine functions as a compressor, and air compressed by the engine operates the exhaust energy recovery device. The braking energy produced by the engine brake is now effectively converted into and recovered as electric energy.
