Abstract: A camera having, in addition to a real focal length photographing mode, a pseudo focal length photographing mode, namely, a photographing mode in which a part of a photographed image frame of a film is printed at an enlarging ratio different from an ordinary enlarging ratio to obtain a print as if it had been photographed using a telephoto lens. It is provided with means for recording photographing mode information on a frame of a film when the pseudo focal length photographing mode is selected, and a control means which brings a flash light emitting device into an operable condition in response to the selection of the pseudo focal length photographing mode and which actuates the flash light emitting device in synchronism with release of the shutter. An optical axis of a photographing lens and a flash emission tube are spaced from each other, and the pseudo focal length photographing mode can be selected only when a negative film is loaded in the camera.

Abstract: The photographic camera which prints a code signal representing printing information on a film is capable of selecting a real focal length photographing mode for printing a normal range of a frame a, plurality of pseudo focal length photographing mode each being different in pseudo focal length from the other, and a close-up photographing mode. Exposure condition is limited in accordance with the selected mode. Upon selection of the photographing modes, a code signal indicative of said selection is produced and printed between frames on the film surface. The film after photographing with this camera is subjected to printing by means of a printer which reads the code signal printed on the film surface, determines an exposure value in accordance with the code signal and determines an enlargement ratio.

Abstract: A photographic camera records photographic information and/or development information in an IC card which includes a semiconductor memory capable of reading-out/writing in, a circuit having a microcomputer and adapted for communication with peripherals and a data communication terminal for the communication. This photographic camera has an attaching portion for attaching the IC card, a data exchange terminal disposed between a back lid and a camera body, a microcomputer-incorporated communication device for the data exchange with the IC card and a camera control device for carrying out various operations based on the data input from the IC card. Through the data exchange between the microcomputer of the camera and the microcomputer of the IC card, the photographic information and/or the development information corresponding to an exposed film is recorded in the IC card. Those data and other information are accessible at any time and any place.

Abstract: A camera on which a front converter can be mounted and wherein a picture image of a high quality over an entire picture plane can be obtained and an aperture of a front converter can be reduced while a photographing magnification of the camera can be increased without the necessity of much expense.
