An apparatus for recording a photographed image on a recording medium together with information received from a satellite of GPS (Global Positioning System). The apparatus includes a first memory to store recording data on the recording medium; a second memory to store the information received thereafter by a GPS receiver; and a judging circuit for determining whether the later recording data is to be shifted from the second memory to the first memory when the shutter is actuated.

Camera having an information recording function

A data recording unit in use with a camera for recording information data, obtained through a GPS receiver, on a photographing film. The data recording unit includes: a selector for selecting a geodetic system from plural geodetic systems; a data converter for converting position information data, obtained through the GPS receiver, to converted position information data in the geodetic system which is selected by the selector; and a printing LED for recording the converted position information data on the photographic film together with images photographed by the camera.

Data-recording unit in use with a camera

A camera in which a photographic data is recorded on a photographic film, includes a plurality of light emitting sections aligned in a direction perpendicular to a film advancing direction. The light emitting sections conducting exposure on a photographic image plane, have a plurality of light emitting elements, the wavelengths of light emitted by the light emitting elements are different. The camera further includes a memory for storing photographic information to be recorded on the film surface and a controller for selectively turning on and off the light emitting sections in the process of advancing the film in accordance with the information stored in the memory.

Photographic data recording camera

In a lens barrel for use in a camera, the inner wall of a fixed barrel and the outer wall of a rotatable barrel are shaped in a first helicoid engagement and the inner wall of the rotatable barrel and the outer wall of a lens holding-barrel are shaped in a second helicoid engagement, wherein a pitch of the second helicoid engagement is substantially equal to that of the first helicoid engagement. One end of a flexible print circuit is connected with an electrical device on the lens holding-barrel, the middle portion of it is extended backward between the outer wall of the lens holding-barrel and the inner wall of the rotatable barrel and is turned around the back end of the rotatable barrel so as to be further extended forward between the outer wall of the rotatable barrel and the inner wall of the fixed barrel, and the other end of it is passed a through hole provided on the fixed barrel and is extended to the camera body.
