Abstract

Consumption of power in a digital electronic still-video camera is reduced. Specifically, a digital electronic still-video camera includes a first memory module circuit and a second memory module circuit controlled by a memory module circuit so as to be placed in active and standby states. When one memory module circuit is in the active state, the other memory module circuit is placed in the standby state, thereby making it possible to reduce power consumption.
