Abstract
A camera system comprises by a camera main body and a film loaded in the camera main body and having a magnetic recording portion. Data for commanding a printer apparatus to perform trimming exposure is recorded on the magnetic recording portion of the film in advance. A feed mechanism feeds the film. A manual operation member is arranged on the outer surface of the camera main body. In the camera main body, a permanent magnet moves, upon manual operation of the manual operation member, between a position where the magnet opposes the magnetic recording portion of the film and a position to which the magnet is caused to retreat from the magnetic recording portion. When a film feed operation is performed by the feed mechanism while the permanent magnet is set at the position where it opposes the magnetic recording portion, the permanent magnet erases the trimming command data recorded on the magnetic recording portion, thereby prohibiting the printer apparatus from performing trimming exposure.
