A digital camera comprises a camera body and an image sensing unit. The image
sensing
unit includes a taking lens, a driver of the taking lens and an image sensor, and
is attachable to the camera body directly or by a cable. The camera body includes
an image processor for processing image data from the image sensing unit, a flash
for emitting flash light, a recorder for recording the image data, a display for
displaying images, and other circuits. An interface for a personal computer and
a video capture adaptor can be attached to the camera body instead of the image
sensing unit. The camera body is provided with a power source section having power
supplying portions each assigned to a specific circuit such as the lens driver,
the image sensor, the flash, the image processor, the interface and the adaptor.
The camera body detects what is attached thereto and whether the cable is used,
and supplies power only to those circuits that should be activated in accordance
with the result of the detection.
