ABSTRACT:
A data imprinting device for a camera has a light source, a diaphragm member, and an optical member mounted on support structures integrally formed in a body of the camera. Another embodiment of the invention includes first and second optical members for imprinting data at two respective locations, upon a film, corresponding to full size and panorama size modes of operation. A shutter slides to obstruct emergent light from one of the first and second optical member thus disabling it from imprinting. The first and second optical members are integrally formed in a bracket structure which is mounted in a body of the camera. Embodiments includes the first and second optical members having emergent planes equidistant from the film. The first and second optical elements have incident planes either offset in a direction parallel with the film or perpendicular to it. Similar exposure characteristic at the two respective locations are maintained by controlling numerical apertures and transmittances of the first and second optical members.
