Abstract

Abstract A photographic camera system including a mode setting device (3) for selectively setting the system to a real focal length photographing mode for printing an ordinary photographic zone and a pseudo focal length photographing mode for printing a zone narrower than the ordinary photographic zone, a recording device for recording on a film information corresponding to a set one of the real and pseudo focal length photographing modes and a data imprinting device (DR3, LD3, 11) for imprinting data such as date in a printing zone on the film not only when the system has been set to the real focal length photographing mode but when the system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A photographic camera system comprising: a mode setting means (3) for selectively setting said photographic camera system to a real focal length photographing mode for printing an ordinary photographic zone and a pseudo focal length photographing mode for printing a zone narrower than the ordinary photographic zone; a recording means (LE) for recording on a film information corresponding to a set one of the real focal length photographing mode and the pseudo focal length photographing mode; and a data imprinting means (DR3, LD3, 11) for imprinting data such as date in a printing zone on the film not only when said photographic camera system has been set to the real focal length photographing mode but when said photographic camera system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 130 words
A photographic camera system comprising: a mode setting means (3) for selectively setting said photographic camera system to a real focal length photographing mode for printing an ordinary photographic zone and a pseudo focal length photographing mode for printing a zone narrower than the ordinary photographic zone; a recording means (LE) for recording on a film information corresponding to a set one of the real focal length photographing mode and the pseudo focal length photographing mode; and a data imprinting means (DR3, LD3, 11) for imprinting data such as date in a printing zone on the film not only when said photographic camera system has been set to the real focal length photographing mode but when said photographic camera system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 114 words
A photographic camera system comprising: a mode setting means (3) for selectively setting said photographic camera system to a real focal length photographing mode for printing an ordinary photographic zone and a pseudo focal length photographing mode for printing a zone narrower than the ordinary photographic zone; and a recording means (LE) for recording on a film a signal commanding, when said photographic camera system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode, printing of a printing zone having a ratio of its vertical dimension to its horizontal dimension different from a ratio of a vertical dimension to a horizontal dimension of a printing zone for the real focal length photographing mode.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 114 words
A photographic camera system comprising: a mode setting means (3) for selectively setting said photographic camera system to a real focal length photographing mode for printing an ordinary photographic zone and a pseudo focal length photographing mode for printing a zone narrower than the ordinary photographic zone; and a recording means (LE) for recording on a film a signal commanding, when said photographic camera system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode, printing of a printing zone having a ratio of its vertical dimension to its horizontal dimension different from a ratio of a vertical dimension to a horizontal dimension of a printing zone for the real focal length photographing mode.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 77 words
A photographic camera system as claimed in Claim 2, wherein said recording means (LE) is constituted by a recording element for recording on the film a signal commanding, when said photographic camera system has been set to the pseudo focal length photographing mode, production of a print having a vertical dimension larger than a horizontal dimension in contrast with a print having a horizontal dimension larger than a vertical dimension for the real focal length photographing mode.
