Abstract
An electronic equipment has a movable body and a position detecting device having an incremental-type encoder and an incremental-type counter. The position detecting device detects a position of the movable body by setting a starting point of position detection by the incremental-type encoder to a position that the movable body passes through most frequently during movement thereof.
