Abstract
An apparatus, such as a camera, adapted for a film having an information recording part includes a reading device which, when a partially used film reloaded into the apparatus is transported, reads out information recorded on the information recording part of the partially used film, and a display device which makes a display corresponding to the information read out by the reading device.
Claims26
A camera adapted for a film cartridge containing a film having a magnetic layer provided thereon, comprising:
- (a) a detection device which detects a state of use of said film contained in said film cartridge loaded in said camera,
- (b) a transport circuit which transport said film when said detection device detects that said film contained in the cartridge is a partially used film,
- (c) a reading device which reads out a magnetic information recorded in said magnetic layer of said film during the transport of said film by said transport circuit, and
- (d) a display device which makes a display corresponding to the information read out by said reading device.

A camera adapted for a film having an information recording part, comprising:
- (A) a film use detecting device adapted to detect whether a film loaded into said camera is in a condition of being unexposed, partially exposed, fully exposed or developed and generating an output signal indicative of the detected film condition;
- (B) a reading device for reading out information recorded on the information recording part of the film loaded into said camera;
- and
- (C) a display device which makes a display corresponding to the information read out by said reading device when said detecting device output signal indicates the detected film condition to be the partially exposed condition and does not make a display corresponding to the information read out by said reading device when said detecting device output signal indicates the detected film condition not to be the partially exposed condition.
