Abstract
In an electronic apparatus including a generator device for generating power, a storage device for storing the generated electric energy, and a motor driven by the electric energy stored in the storage device, it is detected whether a magnetic field is generated by power generation. If it is detected that a magnetic field is generated by power generation, a correcting driving-pulse signal having an effective power larger than a normal driving-pulse signal, which is output for controlling the driving of the motor, is output to the motor. In performing this operation, a determination is made by assuming that a magnetic field is generated while the storage device is in the charging state.
