The taking lens comprises a picture-taking optical system, which allows object light to enter an image-capturing element for picture-taking of a camera, and a focus determination optical system, which splits the object light and allows the split light to enter a focus status determination image-capturing element. The taking lens includes a picture-taking optical length adjusting device, which adjusts an optical length of the picture-taking optical system, and a focus determination optical length adjusting device, which adjusts an optical length of the focus determination optical system. It is hence possible to adjust the respective optical lengths separately and facilitates adjustments at the time of shipment.

A CD-ROM reproduction apparatus which allows error correction for both audio data and CD-ROM data using a single error correction circuit with a miniaturized size. The CD-ROM reproduction apparatus comprises, in addition to the single error correction circuit, an error syndrome monitoring circuit to monitor the error syndromes generated upon error correction processing and to detect presence or absence of an error. Depending upon whether error correction is performed for audio data or for CD-ROM data, the internal connection of the error correction circuit is switched so that the error correction circuit performs error correction for audio data or CD-ROM data. Error correction calculation by the error correction circuit is not performed for audio data or CD-ROM data discriminated to include no errors by the error syndrome monitoring circuit.

An error correction method which can reduce the capacity of and the accessing frequency to a pointer RAM to allow high speed reproduction of recorded data is disclosed. The method corrects an error of cross-interleaved data to which two error correction codes of C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 are added, and comprises the steps of producing, for each one frame upon decoding based on the error correction codes C.sub.1 and C.sub.2, an error pointer indicative of an error condition of the data, and performing error correction based on a condition of the error pointer.

A film initial-advance apparatus advances, after a film cassette is loaded, a film leader portion protruding from the film cassette toward a film take-up spool. A drive lever moves as the film take-up spool rotates. The drive lever causes a film threading member to reciprocally and intermittently move along a film passageway. The film threading member engages with a perforation of the film leader portion to intermittently advance the film leader portion. When the film leader portion is fully captured by the film take-up spool, the drive lever is pushed outside in the axial direction of the film take-up spool by the side edge of the film leader portion, thereby disengaging the drive lever from the film take-up spool. The film threading member rotates while moving in the radial direction, having a large radius of rotation of the claw over the range wherein it engages a perforation of the film leader portion and a smaller radius elsewhere.

A sputtering process of a substrate biasing system and an apparatus for carrying out the same, capable of forming a film in satisfactory surface coverage over stepped underlying layer. The present invention solves problems in the quality of films formed by the conventional sputtering process of a substrate biasing system by regulating the bias potential of a substrate on which a film is to be formed so that the kinetic energy of ions of a sputtering gas falling on the substrate is varied periodically. The bias potential is regulated by periodically varying the amplitude of the output of a radio frequency (or dc) bias power supply or by changing the duty factor of a voltage pulse stream of the output of the radio frequency (or dc) bias power supply.

A servomechanism for a recording disk reproducing system which includes a switching device receptive of the analog error signals of a variety of servo systems for outputting the same analog error signals sequentially in a time division manner in response to sampling signals of predetermined frequency. The analog error signals passed through the switching means are converted into digital error signals and subjected to arithmetic processing. The processed digital error signals are reconverted into analog error signals and distributed to the respective controlled portions of the various servo systems in synchronism with the sampling signals. The frequency of the sampling signals is set on the basis of that of a reference signal contained in the signal read from the disk being played.
