Abstract
An image reader uses a film having a magnetic information recording section. An image entry section reads a photographic image captured on a film and digitizes it. A setting section sets at least one imaging condition selected from the integration time, gradation conversion characteristic, and resolution of the image entry section as control information. A magnetic writing section writes the control information set by the setting section onto the magnetic information recording section of the film. A magnetic reading section reads the control information from the magnetic information recording section. A control section is responsive to the control information read by the reading section to control the image entry section.
