Abstract
A film adaptor, to be used in combination with a still video camera, for recording an image from a conventional photographic film using the still video camera. The film adaptor has a recording button and an erasing button. By depressing the recording button, the image on the film is recorded by the still video camera and is reproduced immediately thereafter, for confirmation of the recorded image. If the image is considered unnecessary, the erasing button is depressed while the recording button remains depressed, whereupon the recorded image is erased. The film image recording operation is therefore conducted in a simple manner.
Claims22
An image recording system comprising:
- an auxiliary adaptor for recording an image and having a manipulation section for generating an instruction signal;
- a recording and reproducing apparatus to be used together with said auxiliary adaptor, wherein said recording and reproducing apparatus includes means for receiving said instruction signal corresponding to the manipulation of said manipulation section of said auxiliary adaptor, and means for controlling a state of said recording and reproducing apparatus according to said instruction signal received by said means for receiving;
- and
- means for disregarding said instruction signal corresponding to the manipulation of said manipulation section when said recording and reproducing apparatus is in a reproducing mode.
A recording and reproducing apparatus to which an auxiliary adaptor having a manipulation section can be removably mounted, comprising:
- means for switching said recording and reproducing apparatus between a recording mode and a reproducing mode;
- and
- means for disregarding an instruction from the manipulation section of said auxiliary adaptor when said recording and reproducing apparatus is in the reproducing mode.
An auxiliary recording adaptor which can be removably mounted on a recording and reproducing apparatus, said recording and reproducing apparatus including means for receiving an instruction signal from an external source, and means for disregarding said instruction signal when said recording and reproducing apparatus is in a reproducing mode, said adaptor comprising:
- a manipulation section for generating an instruction signal;
- and
- means for transmitting the instruction signal to said recording and reproducing apparatus.
An image recording system comprising:
- a recording apparatus for recording an object image on a recording medium;
- and
- an adaptor detachably coupled to said recording apparatus, said adaptor including (i) an optical system for guiding an object image to said recording apparatus as an optical image, and (ii) a manipulation section for generating a recording trigger signal to cause said recording apparatus to perform a recording operation.
An adaptor for use with a recording apparatus for recording an object image on a recording medium, comprising:
- an optical system for guiding the object image into said recording apparatus as an optical image;
- and
- a manipulation section for activating an operation of said recording apparatus.
A control device for use in an apparatus for (i) recording an image signal on a recording medium, (ii) reproducing the recorded image signal from the recording medium, and (iii) erasing the image signal from the recording medium, comprising:
- a first manipulation member distinct from said first manipulation member;
- and
- control means for controlling said apparatus to cause (i) the recording of the image signal to be conducted according to a manipulation of said first manipulation member, (ii) a reproducing of the recorded image signal to be conducted when an operational state of the first manipulation member is maintained for a predetermined period of time, and (iii) the reproduced image signal to be erased according to a manipulation of the second manipulation member in a reproducing mode.
A photographic system comprising:
- a camera having a plurality of operation buttons;
- and
- a film photographing device on which said camera and an object to be photographed are mounted so as to oppose each other, said device having a light source for illuminating the object, and a plurality of operational buttons corresponding to said plurality of operation buttons of said camera,
- wherein, when said camera is attached to said device so as to perform a photographing operation, operation of said camera operation buttons is inhibited and the plurality of device operational buttons are enabled to operate the camera.
