Abstract
A camera uses a film with a magnetic memory portion and includes a magnetic head for writing or reading information to or from the magnetic memory portion of the film, a moving-away device for moving the magnetic head away from a position where the magnetic head acts, and a driving source for driving the moving-away device. The magnetic head and the moving-away device are arranged on the side of a back lid of the camera, with respect to a film transporting path, and the driving source is arranged on the side of a photographic lens, with respect to the film transporting path. Alternatively, the camera includes a magnetic head for writing or reading information to or from the magnetic memory portion of the film, a following device for making the magnetic head follow a wave-like motion of the film while the film is being transported, and a moving-away device for moving the magnetic head as a unit with the following device away from a position where the magnetic head acts.
