Photographic camera system

A photographic camera comprising:

• a first housing for housing a photographic film cartridge containing a photographic film strip;
• a second housing for housing a photographic film strip drawn from said cartridge;
• film feed means for feeding the photographic film between said first and second housings;
• exposure area control means for producing a control signal fed to said film feed means for controlling a size of an exposure area on the photographic film fed by said film feed means available to record an image of a subject;
• and
• recording means for recording an exposure position control signal indicative of a position where the photographic film is to be exposed by said exposure means on the photographic film.

A photographic camera comprising:

• a camera body;
• a first housing disposed in said camera body for housing a photographic film cartridge containing a photographic film strip;
• a second housing disposed in said camera body for housing the photographic film strip drawn from said photo-graphic film cartridge;
• film feed means disposed in said camera body for feeding the photographic film between said first and second housings;
• exposure means disposed in said camera body for for varying a dimension of an exposure area in which the photographic film is exposed to an image of a subject in a direction in which the photographic film is fed by said film feed means between said first and second housings;
• and
• control means disposed in said camera body for controlling said film feed means to feed the photographic film for a length corresponding to an increase in said dimension at least when said width is increased.

A photographic film printer comprising:

• a printer body;
• detecting means disposed on said printer body for detecting an exposure position control signal recorded on a photographic film;
• film feed control means disposed on said printer body for controlling feeding of the photographic film based on the exposure position control signal detected by said detecting means;
• and
• printing means disposed on said printer body for varying an opening width of a mask which is used to print an image of a subject in an exposure area of the photographic film on a print paper, depending on said exposure position control signal.
