ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer and an EEPROM are mounted on a flexible printed circuit board. A land of the flexible printed circuit board is fixed to the upper wall of a cassette chamber. Provided on the bottom surface of this land are a reflection type photosensor for reading a bar code of a photographic film cassette and a plurality of contacts. The reflection type photosensor and the plurality of contacts are exposed in the cassette chamber via an opening formed in the upper wall. A data input apparatus has a connector and a console unit. As the connector is inserted into the cassette chamber, each connector pin of the connector contacts each of the plurality of contacts to electrically connect the microcomputer to the data input apparatus. By manipulating the console unit of the data input apparatus, various sets of data are written in EEPROM via the microcomputer of the camera. Data in EEPROM is read by the data input apparatus.
