Abstract
A data recording camera system includes first recording means for recording time data either on a photographic photosensitive means such as a film or on a matter that is ancillary to the film or the like, such as a film containing cartridge; second recording means for recording information on the format of printing the time data or area data in addition to the time data; and printing means for recording, on a print, time data formed on the basis of the data and information obtained from the first and second recording means.
Claims66
A data recording camera and print making system comprising:
- a) camera first recording means for recording time data on a camera photographic photosensitive means or on a matter that is ancillary to the camera photographic photosensitive means;
- b) camera second recording means for recording, on a camera photographic photosensitive means or on a matter that is ancillary to the camera photographic photosensitive means, area data or language format information for use in printing said data recorded by said camera first recording means on a print;
- and
- c) printing means for making a print and for recording, on said print, said data recorded by said camera first recording means on the basis of said language format information recorded by said camera second recording means or for recording on said print, said data recorded by said camera first recording means on the basis of area data recorded by said camera second recording means.
