Abstract
A camera which has the capability of photographically recording data. A film guide which guides film for movement in a film plane defines an exposure aperture through which an area of the film is exposed by way of the objective, diaphragm, and shutter of the camera. The exposure aperture has a peripheral region situated in front of a peripheral part of an area of the film which is exposed through the exposure aperture. An indicia-carrying structure carries indicia which is to be photographically recorded and is supported by a supporting structure for movement to a selected one of a plurality of different positions where different indicia carried by the indicia-carrying structure will be selectively located in front of the above peripheral region of the exposure aperture, the indicia-carrying structure responding to travelling of light therethrough for photographically recording on the film in the film plane the indicia positioned in front of the peripheral region of the exposure aperture. A positioning structure is operatively connected with the indicia-carrying structure to selectively position the latter for situating selected indicia in front of the peripheral region of the exposure aperture to be recorded photographically on the film with the same light as that which passes through the objective, diaphragm, and shutter of the camera to expose the film behind the exposure aperture to an image of an object which is to be photographed.
