Abstract

Abstract A photographic camera having a chamber for loading an image recording medium, a code printing unit for converting date information into code signals, such as digital binary code dots, which are recorded on the image recording medium, preferably outside the film frame when the image recording medium is a photographic film. The code signals are readable in a printing process of the image recording medium. The date information may be generated within the camera.
