Abstract
During preliminary reading, a presser plate is positioned at a position separated from a photographic film. While the photographic film is conveyed by a film carrier, the photographic film is read by an exclusive-use line sensor, within an area sensor, which exclusive-use line sensor is positioned a predetermined distance away from a leading end detecting sensor. During main reading, image frames are read by the entire area sensor while the photographic film is conveyed intermittently in an opposite direction and is stopped.
