Abstract
A recording apparatus for a camera using a photographic film bearing a magnetic recording medium comprises a magnetic head capable of assuming a recording position with the magnetic head pressed to the film and a retracted position with the magnetic head away from the film. When the magnetic head is at the recording position, a reference pin engages an edge of the film. To move the magnetic head to the retracted position, a drive mechanism moves the magnetic head in a direction along the film width, thereby disengaging the reference pin from the edge of the film, and then moves the magnetic head in a direction away from the film plane.
