ABSTRACT:
A camera communicates with an external device using light signals that are transmitted using one or more photoelectric elements. Preferably, the communications are facilitated by using one or more camera photoelectric elements located in a cartridge chamber of the camera, which usually is used to receive a film cartridge. The one or more camera photoelectric elements usually are used to read a bar code on the film cartridge. In order to perform data communications with the external device, a dummy cartridge, which is linked to the external device, is placed in the cartridge chamber and includes one or more cartridge photoelectric elements that oppose the one or more camera photoelectric elements when placed in the cartridge chamber. Communications can take place in one or both directions between the camera and the external device.
