An apparatus which is to be used for reproducing an image, comprising:

• an image reader which picks up an image recorded on a flexible recording medium to produce an image signal;
• an information reader which reads information recorded on the recording medium;
• a controller which relatively moves the information reader and the recording medium in such a direction as to be away from each other to allow the recording medium to hold plane at least during the time when the image is being picked up by the image reader;
• and
• an output device which outputs the image signal for reproduction of the image.
