Abstract
An electronic color still video camera having an electro-developing recording medium and a color filter includes a photographing lens system for forming an optical image on the filter, an optical lens system for forming the optical image, formed on the filter, in an image-forming plane of the medium to record and develop the optical image therein, and an image reader for optically reading to obtain image data from the recorded and developed image of the medium. The image reader includes a light source having a light emitting surface arranged parallel with the image-forming plane of the medium such that light beams emitted from the light emitting surface of the source are perpendicularly directed to and are passed through the image-forming plane, and an image sensor having a light receiving surface oriented in the same direction as the light emitting surface of the source. The optical lens system is arranged such that the light beams passing through the image-forming plane of the medium are directed to and focused at the light receiving surface of the image sensor.
