Abstract
A recording apparatus photographs document images on a microfilm and photoelectrically reads the document images. The apparatus enables a mode to be selected in which only the reading of document images is executed. In a mode in which only the photographing of images on a microfilm is executed, efficient photographing is possible by making full use of the ability of the photographing device to photograph at high speed. A mode in which the document is photographed on the microfilm at the same time that the document is being read can also be selected.
