Abstract
A printer incorporated type electronic camera composed of an imaging unit including an imaging lens and a CCD, a printer unit, a cassette information detecting/recording unit, a tape cassette in which a recording tape having an adhesive agent applied to the back surface thereof is wound and accommodated and which can be detachably loaded and a controller for controlling respective elements. A subject image captured by the imaging unit is printed on recording tape in the tape cassette by the printer unit. Processing for fitting an image captured from an external source to the print image, and the like can be carried out. The tape cassette for print can be easily loaded to the printer incorporated type electronic camera and further the camera is less expensive. Since the radius of curvature of the recording tape when it is fed out is smaller that when it is accommodated, the recording tape can be easily exfoliated.
