Abstract
A camera for exposing latent images on successive frames of a filmstrip having magnetic recording capacity, includes a control that actuates a motor following exposure of each film frame to advance the filmstrip forward one frame increment, and a magnetic head that magnetically records user-selected information on the filmstrip adjacent the most-recently exposed one of the film frames as the filmstrip is advanced forward. The control first actuates the motor to advance the filmstrip rearward one frame increment when it is desired to change the existing information magnetically recorded adjacent the most-recently exposed one of the film frames to some new information, and then actuates the motor to advance the filmstrip forward one frame increment for the magnetic head to magnetically record the new information adjacent the same frame in place of the existing information.
