An operating device is connected to an image processing apparatus that generates image data to be displayed on a display according to a program. The operating device supplies a signal for varying the image data to be generated by the image processing apparatus. A joystick includes a lever and a disc interlocked therewith, and the rotation of the disc is detected by a photo-interrupter. Pulses from the photo-interrupter are counted by a resettable counter. A reset signal is supplied to the counter when three buttons are simultaneously depressed, when a power supply is turned on, or otherwise when a signal is received from a CPU of the image processing apparatus.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An operating device adapted for being connected during use to an image processing apparatus that generates image data to be displayed on a display according to a program, to supply a signal for providing variation to the image data to be generated by an image processing apparatus, said operating device comprising:an operating member supported to be tilt-operated by an operator so as to incline within a predetermined range and resting, when not operated by the operator, at a pre determined position;a rotating member arranged for rotation depending upon an inclination amount of said operating member;a rotation detecting means for detecting a rotational state of said rotating member;a count means for varying a count value thereof depending on a rotational amount of said rotating member detected by said rotation detecting means;a reset signal generating means for resetting the count value of said count means for an arbitrary tilt position of said operating member so that after resetting, the count means counts using the arbitrary tilt position as a new origin; anda transfer means for transferring the count value counted by said count means to said image processing apparatus.
