The digitized image signal and audio signal are synthesized in a predetermined format by the digital signal processor circuit 6 and the synthesized signal is supplied to the VTR unit 10 for carrying out the digital recording. The image signal from the digital signal processor circuit 6 is supplied to the viewfinder 11 for displaying the processed image signal. The system control circuit 13 is provided which controls the processing operations in the digital signal processor circuit 6 and the VTR unit 10. To this system control circuit 13 is supplied the signal from the standby switch 14 for switching among the power supply off, the VTR mode, the camera (animated picture) standby and the photo (still picture) standby.
