Abstract
An image-recording apparatus includes a display unit for displaying an image photographed by an sensing device, an illuminating unit for emitting light by discharging charges charged in a capacitor on photographing, a power source unit in which any one of plural kinds of power sources is selectively usable, and a power source detector to detect which kind of the power source is being used in the power source unit. Displaying on the display unit and charging of the capacitor are performed by using the power source in the power source unit. When the power source detector detects that the power source unit uses a specified kind of the power source, the display unit is operated even during charging the capacitor, whereas when the power source detector detects that the power source other than said specified one is being used in the power source detector unit, the display unit is set in no operation during charging the capacitor.
