An endoscope apparatus has an insertion portion having an image pickup device in a distal end portion, and a main body portion. The endoscope apparatus has a waveform shaping circuit that is provided in the distal end portion of the insertion portion, a stabilizing circuit that stabilizes a power supply voltage to the waveform shaping circuit, a load circuit that is connected to a power supply line that supplies the power supply voltage of the waveform shaping circuit, and a current drawing circuit that draws a predetermined current to the load circuit from the power supply line in response to an operation state of the waveform shaping circuit so that a potential difference between a power supply voltage of the waveform shaping circuit in a non-operation time period of the waveform shaping circuit and a power supply voltage in an operation time period of the waveform shaping circuit becomes small.
