Abstract: There is described a battery storing apparatus for storing two or more types of batteries and easily distinguishing the type of the battery, and an electronic equipment and a digital camera having it. The battery storing apparatus includes a battery storing section being capable of storing more than two types of batteries; a cover member, being capable of opening and closing, to cover the battery storing section; an anode terminal and a cathode terminal, which are provided in an inner side of the battery storing section; a battery contact piece equipped at the cover member and disposed opposite the anode terminal and the cathode terminal; and a battery-type distinguishing section to distinguish a type of the battery by detecting a voltage applied to the battery contact piece through means for electronically connecting with the battery contact piece.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording a photographed image on a recording medium together with information received from a satellite of GPS (Global Positioning System). The apparatus includes a first memory to store recording data on the recording medium; a second memory to store the information received thereafter by a GPS receiver; and a judging circuit for determining whether the later recording data is to be shifted from the second memory to the first memory when the shutter is actuated.

Abstract: A camera in use with a photographic film in a cartridge.

Abstract: A camera having a trimming function capable of recording trimming information includes a lens barrel having a picture-taking lens capable of moving between protruding and retracting positions, a lens barrel driver to drive the lens barrel, a zoom viewfinder driver to change a magnification of the viewfinder, a film winder to winding a photographic film, a film rewinder to rewind the film, a motor to feed the film. The camera further includes a driver to drive the film winder when the motor is forwardly rotated, and also to drive the film rewinder or the zoom viewfinder driver when the motor is reversely rotated, and a switch to switch over between the zoom viewfinder driver and the film rewinder in accordance with a position of the lens barrel.

Abstract: A photographic roll film cartridge in which a roll film is stored in an initial packaged condition before being used for photographing. In the initial packaged condition, the leading edge portion of the roll film protrudes out of the cartridge by a length of 10 mm to 25 mm.

Abstract: A camera for accommodating a film cartridge which includes a film being rolled on the axis in a lightproof condition. The camera includes; a cartridge chamber for receiving the film cartridge in the axial direction; an ejecting member for ejecting the film cartridge which is placed in the cartridge chamber; and a positioning member for positioning the film cartridge at a fixed position in the cartridge chamber; wherein the positioning member includes an engaging claw which is interchangeable between a first condition that the engaging claw is movable by a pressing force of the film cartridge while the film cartridge is inserted into the cartridge chamber by an operator, and a second condition, after insertion of the film cartridge into the cartridge chamber is completed, that the engaging claw is pushed by a spring member so that the engaging claw engages with a side end of the film cartridge.
