  • Patent number: 6104878
    Abstract: A failure detection and storage device provided with a failure factor detection unit for detecting generation of a failure factor when the failure factor being capable of causing a failure of a camera is generated, a date-and-time information output unit for outputting date-and-time information which corresponds to a date and a time at which the failure factor is generated, a storage unit being capable of storing failure factor information representing the failure factor, the generation of which is detected by the failure factor detection unit, and date-and-time information outputted the date-and-time information output unit, a display unit being capable of displaying the information stored by the storage unit and a control unit for determining a level of the failure factor, the generation of which is detected by the failure factor detection unit, and for deciding whether or not at least one of the failure factor information, the generation of which is detected by the failure factor detection unit, and the da

  • Patent number: 5839009
    Abstract: A film movement detecting section detects an amount of movement of a film from a top end of a film cut-out portion by a film movement detecting element. A film position comparing section compares whether the film is moved to a target position of a date imprint, and a light-emitting element of a date imprint section imprints a date onto a surface of the film. A storing section for storing quantity of initial film (non-exposed) feeding stores a quantity of initial film (non-exposed) feeding when the film is mounted. A control section for controlling initial film (non-exposed) feeding controls a film feeding section so as to feed the film. A film driving device drives a shaft of a film cartridge to wind up the film.
