Abstract
Abstract A keyboard is connected to a data recording section through a memory circuit and a read-out section. A film is mounted in a dark box in the vicinity of the data recording section. The film is connected to a frame-number setting dial through film-winding sections and a control circuit. All the recorded data input by the keyboard are stored in the memory circuit. The recorded data corresponding to the frame number specified by the frame-number setting dial is output by the read-out section as well as displayed at a display section. Simultaneously, the film is wound for exposure independently of the frame arrangement order so that the specified frame comes to a predetermined position in response to the frame numbersetting dial.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
211 words
A data recording device for recording desired data on a desired frame of a film used in a photographic device for a photographing operation, said data recording device comprising: data generating means having an output for generating data corresponding to a frame of the film and recording data; memory means having an output and an input connected to the output of said data generating means for storing the data output from said data generating means; frame-specifying means having an output for outputting a signal corresponding to a desired frame selected from the film frames; film-driving means having an input connected to the output of said frame-specifying means for positioning the desired frame to a predetermined position in response to the signal from said frame-specifying means; read-out means having an output and inputs connected to the outputs of said memory means and said frame-specifying means, respectively, for reading out desired recording data from said memory means in response to the signal output from said frame-specifying means; data recording means having an input connected to the output of said read-out means for copying the recording data output from said read-out means onto the desired frame of the film; and means for displaying at least the recording data read out by said read-out means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
