Abstract
A camera having a data imprinting function, includes: a sprocket-hole detecting device for detecting when each consecutive sprocket hole of a film passes a predetermined position while the film is wound or rewound, the film being loaded into the camera; a data imprinting device for imprinting data on the film between two adjacent sprocket holes thereof; a film speed detecting device for detecting the speed of the film; and a controller for controlling the position of commencement of imprinting the data on the film between the two adjacent sprocket holes in accordance with the time of detection of the sprocket-hole detecting device and the film speed detected by the film speed detecting device.
Claims20
A camera comprising:
- a sprocket-hole detecting device that detects, with respect to each sprocket hole, a time when each consecutive sprocket hole of a film passes a predetermined position while the film is wound or rewound, when the film is in the camera;
- a data imprinting device that imprints data on said film between two adjacent sprocket holes of the film and out of a picture frame of the film;
- a film speed detecting device that detects the speed of the film;
- and
- a controller that controls a position of commencement of imprinting said data on the film between said two adjacent sprocket holes in accordance with the time of detection by said sprocket-hole detecting device and said film speed detected of said film speed detecting device.
