ABSTRACT:
During the photographing of an image, photographic data corresponding to the image, such as a photographing date, subject brightness and distance, a shutter speed, an aperture size, data about illumination light, as well as photographic intention data, are recorded on a photographic film. An index code for identifying a recording format of the photographic data is recorded on the photographic film along with the photographic data. During printing, the index code is read out from the photographic film, and one of a plurality of predetermined data conversion tables which are memorized in a printer are selected so as to convert the photographic data into printer codes that can be used in the printer. Then, the photographic data read from the photographic film is converted according to the selected conversion table. Based on the converted photographic data and photometric values obtained from the image to be printed, a print-exposure amount is determined.
