ABSTRACT:
A camera includes a data recording system or databack which records information such as the time, the date, a name and a copyright symbol onto a recording medium used by the camera. The name, time and date data, which must be set by the user, are lost when power to the databack is lost or interrupted. To ensure that incorrect data is not recorded onto the recording medium after a power loss or interruption, a control system of the databack determines if the data to be recorded are in a default state or in an adjusted state. For data in the adjusted state, the control system allows those data to be recorded on the recording medium. For data in the default state, the control system prevents those data from being recorded on the recording medium. Alternately, if any data is in the default state, the control system prevents any data except fixed data, such as the copyright symbol, from being recorded, in one case, or prevents any data from being recorded, in another case. In a further alternative, when any data is in the default state, the control system prevents operation of the camera.
