Abstract
An image output apparatus and a camera each include a light source for illuminating an image recorded on a developed film drawn out from a loaded cartridge containing the developed film, an image reading device for reading information of the image through photoelectric conversion, and an image information output device for displaying the information of the image on an image display device. The image reading device is a two-dimensional photoelectric conversion device, which has a size approximately equal to or larger than a size of an image area on the developed film, is disposed in the proximity of the developed film, and receives light beams carrying the information of the image that have passed through the developed film or have passed through the developed film and imaged through an imaging lens system.
