ことにより行われる。In electronic still cameras used in such television systems, a magnetic disk serving as a magnetic recording medium is rotated at high speed, and in this state a video signal is recorded on an annular track of the magnetic disk by a magnetic head. Therefore, a power source is required for the motor that rotates the magnetic disk at high speed. Furthermore, when wiping an electronic still camera,
As with other general cameras, a power source is required for drive units such as lens drive and shutter drive, and such power source is provided by a removable battery installed in the grip section of the camera body.
