Abstract

Multiple mode 'tele,' 'pan' and 'normal' prints are produced automatically using a tele/pan camera. With the camera set to a single frame - multiple mode option, a single exposed frame is encoded with a composite fiducial representing all of the chosen modes. During subsequent printing, in response to sensing the composite code, a printer produces multiple prints from the single frame, each print corresponding to a different one of the modes. With the camera set to a multiple frame - multiple mode option, a single depression of a shutter release button initiates a rapid sequence of exposures of multiple frames, each exposure being coded to correspond with a different single one of the multiple modes. Subsequent printing then proceeds on a one frame - one print basis to produce prints in each mode.
