Dual electronic camera, previewing, and control

In a dual electronic-photographic camera,

• an electronic imager and image memory,
• accomodations for receiving conventional photographic film,
• means for substantially concurrently applying the same image to both expose the film, and be recorded electronically in the memory,
• a visual display for previewing any one of the recorded electronic still images,
• and a recorder means for entering data pertaining to any ones of the images in memory.

A dual electronic camera for substantially concurrently imaging objects electronically and photographically imaging said objects,

• said camera having an electro-optical sensor and associated memory with capability to sequentially image and record a series of still electronic images,
• said camera having accomodation for receiving conventional photographic film and means for exposing a sequential series of frames of said film substantially in concert with the recording of each of the electronic images, with each film latent image corresponding in content to a corresponding one of the recorded electronic images,
• means for reading out and displaying any one of the electronic images prior to development of the photographic film, thereby to display the content of the corresponding one of the latent images in the undeveloped photographic film,
• and a recorder means for entering data pertaining to any one of the displayed electronic images,
• said recorder means enabling the recording of data pertaining to any one of selection of photo frames to be printed, variations in processing and printing of the photo film, and editing of individual frames of the photo film during printing thereof.
