Abstract

Abstract A camera uses a film with a magnetic memory portion and includes a film transporting circuit for transporting the film, a magnetic operation circuit for writing or reading information to or from the magnetic memory portion of the film during the film transporting operation by means of the film transporting circuit and control circuit for controlling the film transporting circuit in such a manner that a film transporting speed at the time information is written by the magnetic operation circuit is slower than a film transporting speed at the time the information is read by the magnetic circuit.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A camera using a film with a magnetic memory portion; comprising; (a) film transporting means for transporting the film; (b) magnetic operation means for writing or reading information to or from said magnetic memory portion of said film during the film transporting operation of said film transporting means; and (c) control means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that a film transporting speed at the time the information is written by said magnetic operation means is slower than a film transporting speed at the time the information is read by said magnetic operation means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A camera using a film with a magnetic memory portion; comprising; (a) film transporting means for transporting the film; (b) magnetic operation means for writing or reading information to or from said magnetic memory portion of said film during the film transporting operation of said film transporting means; and (c) control means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that a film transporting speed at the time the information is written by said magnetic operation means is slower than a film transporting speed at the time the information is read by said magnetic operation means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said magnetic operation means comprises a magnetic head.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that the film transporting speed is increased when a film blank transporting operation is performed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that the film transporting speed is decreased when a one-frame winding-up operation is performed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 36 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that the film transporting speed is decreased when a one-frame rewinding operation is performed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 30 words
A camera according to claim 1 wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means by means of changing a current supplied to said film transporting means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 30 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means by means of changing a voltage supplied to said film transporting means.

A film transporting apparatus for a camera using a film with a magnetic memory portion; comprising; (a) film transporting means for transporting the film; (b) magnetic operation means for writing or reading information to or from said magnetic memory portion of said film during the film transporting operation by means of said film transporting means; and (c) control means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that a film transporting speed at the time the information is written by said magnetic operation means is slower than a film transporting speed at the time the information is read by said magnetic operation means
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 105 words
A film transporting apparatus for a camera using a film with a magnetic memory portion; comprising; (a) film transporting means for transporting the film; (b) magnetic operation means for writing or reading information to or from said magnetic memory portion of said film during the film transporting operation by means of said film transporting means; and (c) control means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that a film transporting speed at the time the information is written by said magnetic operation means is slower than a film transporting speed at the time the information is read by said magnetic operation means
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 15 words
An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said magnetic operation means comprises a magnetic head.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 37 words
An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that the film transporting speed is increased when a film blank transporting operation is performed.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 37 words
An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said control means comprises means for controlling said film transporting means in such a manner that the film transporting speed is decreased when a one-frame film winding-up operation is performed.
