ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment, a camera has a magnetic head and a pad that is replaceable without removing additional pieces of the device. The device includes film path forming members that form a film path where the film moves in a horizontal direction, a magnetic head that records data in magnetic recording areas on the film surface and/or reads data from the magnetic recording areas and a pad adjacent and facing the magnetic head across the film path. The pad presses the magnetic recording areas of the film against the magnetic head. A holding mechanism holds either the magnetic head or the pad, which is forced by an elastic body to the other of the magnetic head and the pad. The holding mechanism has an insertion unit to hold either the forced magnetic head or the forced pad. The pad can be inserted from the film path into the insertion unit. The holding mechanism further has a receiver that receives an end of the elastic body. The device can further have a hook that hooks on a part of the holding mechanism such that the forced magnetic head or pad is not unintentionally removed from the insertion unit by the force from the elastic body.
