ABSTRACT:

This application is based on patent application Hei. 10-260632 filed in Japan, the content of which are hereby incorporated by references.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a camera for taking an image of an object on a film, and especially relates to a camera which can memorize image taking information corresponding to each image of frame on a film into a memory.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a field of a camera for taking an image on a film, a data control system is proposed for memorizing image taking information such as shutter speed, aperture number, date when image was taken and so on with respect to each image of frame into a memory of a camera. In the conventional data control system, the image taking information memorized in the memory of the camera are directly taken into a personal computer when the camera is connected to the personal computer. The image taking information with respect to each frame on the same film are memorized together in the same information file by the personal computer. On the other hand, the images of the frames on the same film are taken into the personal computer by a scanner and memorized together in the same image data file. By linking the image data file and the information file corresponding to the same number of frames in the personal computer, the image taking information and the image data can effectively be controlled and recorded.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of this invention is to provide a camera or a recorder which can control data with respect to images on a film easily. Another object of this invention is to provide a camera or a recorder which can correspond a distinguishable information visibly recorded on a film to a file name of an image data file stored in a memory. Still another object of this invention is to provide a camera or a recorder which can add a distinguishable information on a film firmly. Still another object of this invention is to provide a camera or a recorder which can store information with respect to image taking operation into an internal memory when no external memory is connected thereto.
A camera in accordance with this invention exposes an image of an object in each frame on a film. The camera comprises an information marking device for marking an inherent information of the film in a predetermined region on the film, and an output device for outputting frame information with respect to each frame and the inherent information recorded on the film with a predetermined relation.
By such a configuration, the inherent information of the film such as a film number, an optional name, and so on can be marked. Furthermore, the frame information can be outputted with the inherent information, so that the image of the film can be arranged easily by using, for example, an electronic album.
