DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film processing system for performing various processes such as development and printing on a film on which information is recorded.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a technique for recording information such as date, time, aperture value, and the like at the time of photographing on a film by, for example, magnetic recording. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-112
No. 139 discloses a technique for writing information such as trimming and date between films using digital signals.

Further, US Pat. No. 4,965,626 and US Pat.
No. 072253 proposes a technique relating to a film on which information relating to photographing by a camera is magnetically recorded. With this technology, much information of the camera can be recorded and can be effectively used at the time of printing (printing on photographic paper). In addition, a technique of generally printing the number of frames of a film on a negative sheet has also been realized.

[0004]

However, when the user checks recorded information such as date, time, aperture value, etc., a means for decoding the recorded magnetic information is required. When the record information is input by a code, a means for decoding the code is required to obtain accurate information.

Further, for example, when photographing is performed in the trimming mode, it is difficult to determine whether or not the photographing is performed in the trimming mode or to determine the trimming area only by looking at the negative. In the technique of optically imprinting a date or the like on a film, the amount of information is reduced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to print information written on a film on a film storage sheet so that a user can easily know information at the time of shooting. It is in.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a film processing system according to the present invention is a film processing system for processing a film on which trimming information can be recorded together with a photographed image. A reading unit that reads trimming information; and a printing unit that prints a trimming frame on a storage sheet that is stored after the film is processed based on the trimming information read by the reading unit. And

[0008]

[0009]

[0010]

According to the present invention, there is provided a film processing system for processing a film on which trimming information can be recorded together with a photographed image, wherein the trimming information recorded on the film by reading means is provided. The trimming frame is printed by the printing unit on a storage sheet that is stored after the film is processed, based on the trimming information read by the reading unit.

With respect to the trimming, FIG. 11A shows the normal mode, and FIGS. 11B to 11E show the trimming mode. In the trimming mode, a frame is printed according to the mode, and information such as the date is printed at a predetermined position below the screen of each frame. If there is no information, the predetermined position is blank.

As described in detail above, in the film processing system of the present invention, information that is particularly necessary for the user among the information recorded on the film by, for example, magnetic recording, is printed on the film sheet, so that the user can obtain the information. Can be provided. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is a matter of course that various applications and improvements can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the trimming frame is printed according to the mode.
