ABSTRACT:
A camera capable of imprinting data in which data imprinting means is provided in a control circuit for controlling photographing and power consumption is reduced by appropriately changing intervals for driving a central processing unit (CPU) in accordance to data to be imprinted.
A drive signal outputting means 7 is included in the control circuit 1 for controlling photographing and a first drive signal is output from a short time counting means 5 at intervals of one minute and a second drive signal is output from a long time counting means 6 at intervals of 10 minutes, respectively, to a drive signal detecting means 8. When data imprinting mode is set up in a time mode (indicating in unit of minute), the CPU 9 is driven by the first drive signal and time data in a memory 9d is added up at intervals of one minute. When a date mode (indicating in unit of day) is set up, the CPU 9 is driven by the second drive signal and the time data is added up at intervals of 10 minutes. When photographing, the date or time data in the memory 9d is output to data imprinting means 18 to imprint on a film.
