Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a copyright recording apparatus for recording the copyright of a photographer on a photographic film.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Professional photographers are always aware of copyright in the images they shoot, and in order to insist that the images are unique to them, a copyright mark is printed on the back of the print paper. Be sure to note the date and your name. This asserts the identity of the photographer and the whereabouts of the copyright,
In addition, they can be protected, and it is prohibited for others to make copies without permission.

On the other hand, a device for recording the date and the like on a photographic film as a camera accessory has been known as a data bag. This is to optically record a desired number on the inside and outside of a photographing screen on a photographing film by using an LED (light emitting diode) or the like. This device automatically records the shooting date and time on the photographic film in addition to the subject image, which is convenient for rearranging the photographic film and the like later.

The applicant has applied for a method of combining the above two elements and recording and recording a copyright mark on a photographic film, for example, as Japanese Patent Application No. 4-256100.

[0005]

However, in the conventional data back device, the date, time, film count value,
Since only the function to record exposure data etc. was required,
The imprinting recording element was formed by arranging so-called 7-segment elements capable of expressing only numbers. Therefore, it was impossible to record the name of the copyright holder in alphabet.

To record the alphabet, 14
It is known that this is possible by using a segment element or a 5 × 7 dot matrix element, but in order to record between extremely narrow shooting screens, the element itself must be made very small in a data back device. In addition, problems such as deterioration of character quality and increase of manufacturing cost occur.

Even if a very small element is realized, in order to show the person's name, it may be 16 in some cases.
Since more digits are required, a complicated processing circuit and a large amount of current consumption are required to drive all of these segments.

Further, various problems occur when inputting these names. As an example, it may be necessary to similarly prepare a display device having many segments for checking the input characters.

In the conventional data back device, there were many obstacles to the realization of a data back in which marks and names relating to copyright can be imprinted and recorded because of the above problems. On the other hand, there are also the following problems when actually performing recording related to copyright.

Generally, when claiming copyright for the work, three types of data should be described: a copyright mark, the name of the copyright holder, and the year of publication. However, before 2
Is a mandatory condition, the data of the year of publication is based on the idea that the copyright is valid for 50 years after the copyright owner's death (Article 51 of the Copyright Act) and 50 years from the year of publication. (Article 52 of Copyright Law, in case of anonymous or pseudonymous work)
Since there are two types, the priority is lower than the former two. Therefore, when designing such an imprinting recording apparatus, first, the former two should be recorded preferentially, and the latter should be recorded subsequently.

However, in the conventional disclosed example of this type, all the data are imprinted and recorded at the same time, or these points are not mentioned at all. In the method of imprinting all data at the same time, there is a risk that some data may become faint or not be imprinted due to a sudden voltage drop at the time of imprinting, and that it is data with high priority. , It becomes impossible to claim copyright.

Therefore, in the present invention, these problems can be solved, and it is possible to easily record the mark, name, etc. relating to the copyright without using a complicated circuit structure or a special light emitting element. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data back device in which important data is recorded preferentially.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a first recording means for recording first data relating to a copyright at a first position near a photographing screen on a photographing film, and a date and time. A second recording means for recording the second data in a second position near the photographing screen different from the first position;
It has a control means for controlling the recording means and the second recording means independently.

[0014]

In the copyright recording apparatus having the above structure,
First recording means for recording the first data relating to the copyright at a first position near the photographing screen on the photographing film, and second data relating to the date and time at a second position near the photographing screen different from the first position. Since the second recording means and the control means for independently controlling the first recording means and the second recording means are provided, the copyright can be simply and easily without using a complicated circuit configuration or a special light emitting element. It is possible to record marks, names, etc. regarding, and preferentially record important data.

[0015]

It is as described above that the groove portion 28 enters the wall portion 27 to provide a light shielding property when the lid portion 10 is closed, and the engagement groove 29 is locked by the locking portion 9.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

In FIG. 7, a lens 62 is provided in the imprinting block 61 fixed to the pressure plate 15 with screws 63. One end of the block 61 enters into the hole 16 of the pressure plate 15, and the other end is fixed with the LED array substrate 65. 4 sets of 7 segment L on LED array substrate 65
ED pairs 65a, 65b, 65c, and 65d are installed (see FIG. 8), and each 7-segment LED pair 65 is installed.
When the light emission form of a to 65d is changed, the image is changed to the pressure plate 1.
The lens 62 is placed on the photographic film (not shown) that is in close contact with the lens 5.
It is possible to record and record any number by forming an image. The LED array board 65 is electrically connected to the circuit board 41 by the FPC 66. Since the FPC 66 is flexible, it has no effect even if the pressure plate 15 swings.

On the other hand, the circuit board 41 is also electrically connected to the LED control board 51 by the FPC 67. The FPC 67 is sandwiched between the wall portion 45 and the data back main body 5 in order to maintain the light blocking effect of the wall portion 45 between the lid portion 10 side and the circuit board 41 side.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG.

In FIG. 8, the imprinting block 61 is fixed to the pressure plate 15 as described above. Four 7-segment LED pairs 65a to 65d and a lens 62 are installed, and each pair can be imprinted with a 2-digit numerical value and a decimal point, and an arbitrary numerical value with a total of 8 digits in the direction perpendicular to the film feeding direction. It is possible to imprint. These numerical values will be imprinted at a position that is continuous with the imprinting relating to the copyright by the right-angle prism 36 performed through the hole 17.

The contacts 18 (see FIGS. 8 and 2) receive contact pressure by the spring group 68 when the data back 5 is mounted on the camera 1, and the contacts 19 (see FIGS. 8 and 2). By making contact with the circuit board 41, it is possible to exchange signals between the circuit board 41 and the camera 1. The operation button groups 8 are installed adjacent to the circuit board 41, respectively, and when pressed from the outside, the conductive rubber 8a causes the conductive rubber 8a to move.
It constitutes an on-off switch that contacts the.

FIG. 9 is a block 6 for imprinting onto the pressure plate 15.
FIG. 3 is a front view illustrating a method of attaching No. 1 and a method of attaching the prism holding plate 34 to the data bag body 5. FIG. 9 shows a state viewed from the pressure plate 15 side, but for convenience of explanation, a part of the pressure plate 15 is cut away.

In FIG. 9, the eccentric pin 35 embedded in the prism holding plate 34 projects from the elongated hole 5a formed in the data back body 5. The prism holding plate 34 is 3
It is held by a stepped screw 37 in a U-shaped groove portion 34a at some place. Therefore, by rotating the eccentric pin 35, the prism holding plate 34 can be finely adjusted in the film feeding direction (left and right direction in FIG. 9) with respect to the data back body 5. This makes it possible to finely adjust the projection position of the mask portion 22 in the film feeding direction with respect to the photographing screen.

Although the fine adjustment may change the distance from the lens 40 to the image plane and defocus the projected image, there is no problem because the amount of focus movement is actually very small. The hole 34b is an escape hole for the pin 31 and the retaining ring 32.

The imprinting block 61 is fixed to the pressure plate 15 with four stepped screws 63. The four counterbore holes of the pressure plate 15 into which the stepped screws 63 are inserted are elongated holes in the film feeding direction (left and right direction in FIG. 9). By loosening the four stepped screws 63, the pressure plate 15 is pressed. The position of the imprinting block 61 can be adjusted with respect to 15, and it is also possible to adjust the imprinting position of the numerical data recording imprinting on the photographing screen in the film feeding direction.

FIG. 10 is a block connection diagram showing an electric circuit in the data back 5 and the camera 1 according to the present invention. The right side of the contact 18 is the electric circuit of the data bag 5, and the left side of the contact 19 is the electric circuit of the camera 1.

First, the electric circuit portion of the camera 1 will be described.

The operation of the electric circuit of the camera 1 is entirely powered by the battery 70. Further, the control of the camera 1 is executed mainly by the CPU 74. The CPU 74 has
As is well known, the subject brightness signal from the photometric circuit 71, the film sensitivity signal from the film sensitivity detection circuit 72, and the status signal from the status detection circuit 73 of various switches are supplied.
Here, the switch detection circuit 73 also includes a power switch and a release switch that interlock with the shutter button 4.

The CPU 74 controls the display of the exposure conditions on the liquid crystal display device 6 via the liquid crystal driver 75, opens and closes the shutter 76 to control the exposure for a predetermined time, and the diaphragm 7
The amount of transmitted light is controlled by adjusting the opening diameter of 7
8 is rotated to control the winding and rewinding of the photographic film. Further, with respect to the data bag 5, the transistor 81 is driven to output the imprinting signal via the contacts 19 and 18.

Next, the electric circuit of the data bag 5 will be described.

A battery 82 is provided in the electric circuit of the data bag 5.
Supplies power to each part including the CPU 85. The CPU 85 receives the ON / OFF state of the plurality of operation button groups 8 described above from the switch detection circuit 83, and contacts 18
The imprinting signal is supplied via. Further, the output of the oscillator 84 is input to the CPU 85 and serves as a reference signal for data calculation regarding date and time.

The CPU 85 displays the exposure condition or the date and time on the display unit 7 via the liquid crystal driver 86. Further, the CPU 85 appropriately causes each segment of the 7-segment LED pair 65a to 65d on the LED array substrate 65 to emit light via the LED driver 87 by the imprinting signal, imprints necessary numerical data, and causes the backlight LED 54 to emit light. , It also prints the necessary copyright data.

FIG. 11 shows C in the camera 1 shown in FIG.
It is a flow chart which shows a processing routine by PU74. This routine is repeatedly executed while power is being supplied to the CPU 74. The description will be given below.

When the routine starts, step S1
At, the photometric signal from the photometric circuit 71 and the sensitivity signal from the film sensitivity detection circuit 72 are fetched. Step S
In step 2, both are calculated to calculate a shutter time and an aperture value which are proper exposure conditions. In step S3,
The liquid crystal display device 6 displays the exposure conditions obtained as described above, the shooting mode set by the switch state detection circuit 73, and the like. In step S4, the switch state detection circuit 7
It is determined through 3 whether the shutter button 4 is pressed. If it has not been pressed, the process returns to step S1 to repeat the above process. If it has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S5, since the shutter button 4 has been pressed, the transistor 81 is turned on for a certain period of time, and the data imprinting operation is instructed to the data back 5 via the contacts 18 and 19. In step S6, the reflecting mirror (not shown) is raised and retracted from the photographing optical path. In step S7, the diaphragm 77 is controlled to have a predetermined diaphragm opening. In step S8, the shutter 76 is opened and closed to control the exposure of the photographic film. In step S9, since the exposure operation is completed, the motor 78 is normally rotated to
The photographic film is fed and the mechanism is energized.

Since the exposure operation has completed one cycle as described above, the process returns to step S1 and the above processing is repeated.

FIG. 12 shows the data back 5 shown in FIG.
It is a flow chart which shows a processing routine by CPU85 in. This routine is repeatedly executed while power is being supplied to the CPU 85. For the sake of clarity, the description of the known calendar function of counting the output of the oscillator 84 and updating the time data is omitted.

When the routine starts, step S1
At 1, it is determined which of the current operation modes is set. When the setting start / end button is pressed, the setting mode is determined, and the process branches to step S27 described below. If the setting start / end button is not pressed, the normal mode is determined and the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, it is determined whether the function selection button has been pressed. The imprint function has six types of imprint functions: “year / month / day”, “month / day / year”, “day / month / year”, “hour / minute / second”, “fixed value”, and “up count value”. Either one can be selected, but if the function selection button is pressed, the process branches to step S13, and if not pressed, the current function is left and the process proceeds to step S14.
In step S13, the function is updated. The above six types of imprinting functions are ordered, and the currently selected function is changed to the next function. This ordering is endless, with the first feature selected after the last one. Therefore, the photographer can select a desired imprinting function by pressing the function selection button a predetermined number of times.

In step S14, the contact 18 is monitored to determine whether the imprinting signal is input from the camera 1. If not, the process returns to step S11. In step S15, the state of the card switch 11 is determined. If it is off, the process branches to step S20,
If it is on, the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, the backlight LED
54 is illuminated according to the film sensitivity information for a predetermined time, and the characters on the mask portion 22 are imprinted from the back surface of the film. In step S17, the data imprint flag is on (1)
Or off (0). If it is on, step S1
8, and if it is off, the process branches to step S22.
The method of setting and resetting the data embedding flag will be described later.

In step S18, it is determined whether or not the imprinting function currently selected is the "year / month / day" function. If the function is the "year / month / day" function, the process branches to step S22. In step S19, the 7th digit of the first and second digits
The segment LED pair 65a emits light. The numerical value imprinted here is the lower two digits of the year, regardless of the imprinting function.

In step S20, it is determined whether the data imprinting flag is on (1) or off (0). If it is on, the process proceeds to step S21, and if it is off, the process returns to step S11. In step S21, the 7-segment LED pair 65b at the third and fourth digits is illuminated. The number imprinted here depends on the imprint function selected, and in the "Date" function, the lower 2 digits of the year
Digit, month in “month day year” function, day in “day month year” function,
The "hour, minute, second" function is the hour, and the "fixed numerical value" function is the upper 2 digits of the fixed numerical value of 6 digits, and the "up count value"
The function imprints the upper 2 digits of the current 6-digit count value.

In step S22, the 7-segment LED pair 65b at the third and fourth digits is illuminated. This step imprints the lower two digits of the year regardless of the imprinting function. In step S23, the 7-segment LED pair 65a in the first and second digits is caused to emit light. The number printed here is the upper two digits of the year. Step S
At 24, it is determined whether the data imprint flag is on (1) or off (0). If it is on, the process proceeds to step S25, and if it is off, the process returns to step S11.

In step S25, the 7-segment LED pair 65c at the fifth and sixth digits is illuminated. The number imprinted here depends on the imprint function selected. The month is set for the "year / month / day" function, the day is set for the "month / day / year" function, the month / month is set for the "day / month / year" function, and the hour / minute / second is set. Minutes in function,
The "fixed numerical value" function copies the set fixed numerical value of 6 digits into the middle 2 digits, and the "up count value" function copies the current 6 digits of the middle 2 digits. In step S26, the 7-segment LED pair 65 at the seventh and eighth digits
emits light. The number imprinted here depends on the imprint function selected. For the "year / month / day" function, the day, the "month / day / year" function, the year / day / month / year function, and the hour / minute / second function are available. Seconds, the "fixed number" function displays the lower two digits of the set fixed six digits, and the "up count value" function displays the lower two digits of the current six digits. Then, it returns to step S11 and repeats the above operation.

If it is determined in step S11 that the current operation mode is the setting mode, the process branches to step S27. In step S27, it is determined whether the setting mode has ended. When it is determined that the setting start / end button has been pressed and the setting mode has switched to the normal mode (setting mode has ended), step S1
Return to 1. If it is determined to be the setting mode, the process proceeds to step S28.

In step S28, it is determined whether the numerical value correction button has been pressed. If it is determined that the button has been pressed, the process branches to step S29 and then proceeds to step S30. If it is determined that the button has not been pressed, step S30
Go directly to. In step S29, the numerical value is updated. Add 1 to the 2-digit numerical value that is currently correctable and blinking.

In step S30, it is determined whether the digit selection button has been pressed. If it is determined that the digit selection button has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S31, and
The digit number shall be decided. If it is determined that the digit selection button has not been pressed, the process returns to step S27 to enable correction.

In step S31, the numerical values that can be corrected are changed from the blinking display to the lit state, and the next two digits are changed to the blinking state so that they can be corrected. If the last 2 digits were the lowest 2 digits, it can be re-corrected by returning to the highest 2 digits. Then, it returns to step S27 and repeats the above operation.

In the above routine processing, the description will be added by associating the numerical value setting operation with the actual operation of the operation button group 8. The displayed numerical value differs depending on the imprinting function selected at that time, but the basic setting operation is the same.

When the setting start / end button is pressed to switch from the normal mode to the setting mode, four sets of two-digit display corresponding to the 7-segment LEDs 65a to 65d, that is, a total of eight-digit display value, The 3rd and 4th digit will blink, indicating that the correction is possible. When the numerical value correction button is pressed in this state, 1 is added to the current numerical value. Therefore, it is possible to set a desired numerical value by pressing this button any number of times.

By pressing the digit selection button after setting a desired numerical value, the third and fourth digits so far are changed from blinking to a lighting state, and instead, the fifth and sixth digits are changed to a blinking state. These numerical values can also be set to desired numerical values by pressing the numerical correction button any number of times. Similarly, 7th and 8th
A desired numerical value is also set in the digit. After the desired numerical value is set by the above operation, the setting mode is switched from the setting mode to the normal mode by pressing the setting start / end button, and all the display is returned to the lighting state.

Of the imprinting functions, the functions relating to time, “year / month / day”, “month / day / year”, “day / month / year”, and “hour / minute / second” are not shown using the built-in oscillator 84. The display is updated by the output of the timer circuit, and the date or time at that time is constantly displayed. Also,
With the "fixed number" function, the set 6 digit number can be
In the "up-count value" function, one frame is photographed, and when an imprinting signal is input, 1 is added to an internal counter (not shown) for display.

The imprinting / non-imprinting switching button is for switching whether or not these numerical data are imprinted, regardless of the function selection, and the data imprinting flag (0 ) Or (1),
You can select imprinting or non-imprinting.

Next, the relationship between the imprinting of the copyright data and the imprinting of the numerical value in the processing routine during the photographing operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

In the normal mode, the desired imprinting function is selected by pressing the function selection button. First, the card switch 11 is turned on, and the data imprint flag is 1
The case where it is (ON), that is, the case where both the data and the numerical data relating to copyright are imprinted and recorded will be described.

After the photographic film is loaded in the camera 1 and the data back 5 is closed, the first frame of the photographic film is put into the photographing standby state by a known initial operation. The card 21 is loaded in the loading section 26 of the data bag 5 with the lid 10 opened. At this time, since the reference pin 24 is loaded so as to match the reference hole 23 of the card, there is no possibility that the card 21 is loaded upside down or upside down. As described above, when the lid portion 10 is closed, the wall portion 27 that surrounds the periphery of the loading portion 26 enters the groove portion 28 of the lid portion 10 to shield light. The lid portion 10 includes the engaging portion 9 and the engaging groove 2.
When 9 is engaged, the closed state is maintained.

As the lid 10 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the end portion 49 of the shutter plate 47 is replaced by the spring 50.
It is pushed by the lid portion 10 against the pressure and overlaps the hole portion 48 and the hole portion 46 of the wall portion 45, and this is changed from the closed state to the open state. The opening operation of the wall portion 45 by the shutter plate 47 is performed by the lid portion 1.
The wall portion 2 is provided so as to come after the light shielding by the groove portion 28 of 0.
7, the groove 28, the shutter plate 47, and the wall 45 are configured. Therefore, stray light enters from the outside and pressure plate 15
Light will not be leaked to the photographic film through the hole 17 of the.

When the imprinting signal is input from the camera 1, the backlight LED 54 emits light for a predetermined time in accordance with steps S14, S15 and S16. As a result, the symbol mark and name relating to the copyright on the mask portion 22 of the card 21 are imaged and recorded from the back surface of the film by the lens 40 through the prisms 53 and 36. The center of the optical path at this time is as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIGS.

After this, since the data imprinting flag is 1, the process proceeds to step S18 of the processing routine. In step S18, it is determined whether or not the imprinting function is the “year / month / day” function.
LED6b emits light, LED6 in the last 2 digits of the year
The imprinting recording is executed in the order of the upper two digits of the year by the light emission of 5a, the month by the light emission of the LED 65c, and the day by the light emission of the LED 65d. An example of the imprinting form at this time is shown in FIG.
3 (a). In the figure, 101 is a shooting screen targeted by this data, and 102 is a previous shooting screen. 10
Reference numeral 3 is a symbol mark for asserting copyright and a copyright holder name, 104 is a year of the year, and 105 is an imprint record showing a date. The data 103 to 105 are imprinted and recorded between the current shooting screen 101 and the previous shooting screen 102.

The reason why the lower two digits of the year is printed first is to assume that the printing cannot be performed halfway due to an unexpected accident, etc. This is because I want to keep it.

Then, the process returns to step S18 and the "date" is entered.
The case where it is not a function will be described.

At this time, first, the lower two digits of the year is imprinted by the light emission of the LED 65a, and then the LED 65b, the LED 65c, and the LED 65d are sequentially emitted by the steps S21, S25, and S26 to be set. Perform a predetermined imprinting record for the imprinting function. An example of the imprinting form at this time is shown in FIG. In this example, the “hour / minute / second” function is selected as the imprinting function. In the figure, 103 is the same as in the previous example, but 106 is a lower two digits of the year, and 107 is an imprinting record showing the hour, minute, and second of the time of photographing.

Next, a case will be described in which the card switch 11 is on and the data imprinting flag is 0 (off), that is, the data relating to the copyright is imprinted and recorded, but the numerical data is not recorded.

Since the card switch 11 is on, the step S14 and step S1 are performed by inputting the imprinting signal.
Backlight LED according to 5 and step S16
54 is emitted, and the symbol mark and name relating to the copyright are imprinted and recorded as described above.

In step S17, since the data imprinting flag is 0, the process branches to step S22, and the lower two digits of the year is imprinted by the light emission of the LED 65b.
The ED 65a emits light to imprint the upper 2 digits of the year, and then ends. An example of the imprinting form at this time is shown in FIG.
It shows in (c). In the figure, 103 is the same as the previous example, and 108
Indicates the year of the year.

Next, a case will be described in which the card switch 11 is off and the data imprinting flag is 1 (on), that is, the data related to the copyright is not imprinted and recorded, but the numerical data is recorded.

At step S15, since the card switch 11 is off, the backlight LED 54 does not emit light and the process branches to step S20. Then, in step S21, step S25, and step S26, the LED 6
5b, the LED 65c, and the LED 65d are sequentially emitted to execute a predetermined imprinting recording for the set imprinting function. An example of the imprinting form at this time is shown in FIG.
It shows in (d). This example shows "hour, minute, second" as the imprint function.
This is the case when a function is selected. In the figure, 109 indicates hours, minutes and seconds.

Finally, the case where the card switch 11 is off and the data imprinting flag is 0 (off), that is, neither the data relating to the copyright nor the numerical data is imprinted and recorded will be described.

At this time, at step S15, the process branches to step S22, but since the process returns to step S11, none of the LEDs emits light. Therefore,
Nothing is imprinted and recorded on the photographing film, and the series of photographing operations is completed.

As described above, the copying of the copyright data and
The explanation of the relationship with the numerical imprinting function ends. Next, a method for erasing imprinted characters will be described.

When the photographer notices that the intended screen could not be photographed for some reason after taking the photograph with the copyright imprinting as described above, it is necessary to delete the imprint record relating to the copyright. May occur. The operation method and operation of this embodiment in such a case will be described. In the apparatus of the present embodiment, it is possible to delete the copied copyright information by the following method.

First, the photographic film is rewound to the photographic screen having the copyright information to be erased. In this state, the card 21 is removed and the lid 10 is closed. The card switch 11 is turned on to perform shutter release. As described above, according to the predetermined routine, the backlight LED 5
4 emits light, but since the card 21 is not loaded, the surface of the photographic film is illuminated with uniform light. Therefore, the entire surface exposure by the uniform light overlaps the latent image-formed copyright recording, and the copyright recording is erased, thereby achieving the purpose. When it is desired to leave the shooting screen, the lens may be capped and the shutter may be released so that the already shot screen is not exposed, as in the case of normal aerial shooting.

According to the above-described embodiment, the imprint record of the copyright symbol mark and the copyright holder name relating to the copyright which requires characters other than the numerical value, and the imprinted record of only the numerical value are necessary. Since the imprinting record of the data relating to the date or time such as the year is executed by different methods, the most suitable method can be selected in terms of cost and space. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to easily perform imprint recording related to copyright without using a complicated circuit configuration or a special light emitting element.

Since these two types of imprint recording means are independently configured and both of them are capable of position adjustment in the photographic film feeding direction with respect to the photographic screen, they can be positioned at the most suitable position with respect to the photographic screen. Moreover, it is possible to perform imprinting recording so that they are on the same straight line. Therefore, it is possible to perform orderly imprinting and recording on the target screen and the adjacent screen even though the imprinting is performed in an extremely narrow space between the shooting screens.

In addition, since the year of the year related to copyright is configured to automatically select whether to imprint all digits or the lower two digits depending on the imprinting status of other numerical data, the data relating to copyright When imprinting, there is no inconvenience of imposing restrictions on the imprinting of other numerical data.

Further, according to the configuration of the embodiment, the imprinting and recording of the symbol mark and the copyright holder's name relating to copyright are always executed prior to other data. Even if an unexpected situation such as battery exhaustion is encountered, there is an effect that more important data is more likely to be recorded.

As a side effect, when it is predicted that the shooting screen is not what was intended, it is possible to rewind the shooting film and completely erase the marks and names relating to the copyright. There is also the effect that.

Although not described in the embodiment, the data amount (length) of the copyright mark and the copyright holder name (first data) is detected, and the data amount (length) and the predetermined data amount (length) are detected. And a copyright mark and the name of the copyright holder (first
When it is determined that the data amount (length) of (data) is larger than the predetermined data amount (length), the control unit prohibits the recording operation of the second recording unit (recording operation of year data). In addition, the present invention can be modified. In this modified example, in terms of the amount of data (length), it means that the copyright mark and the name of the copyright holder are prioritized over the year data and the imprint recording is performed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the first recording means for recording the first data relating to the copyright in the first position near the photographing screen on the photographing film, and the second recording means relating to the date and time.
Since the second recording means for recording the data in the second position near the photographic screen different from the first position and the control means for independently controlling the first recording means and the second recording means are provided, it is complicated. It is possible to easily record a mark or name relating to copyright without using a circuit configuration or a special light emitting element, and it is possible to preferentially record important data.
