Interface circuit 27 is connected. Information to be displayed on the TV screen together with the image on the personal computer 28 (information not recorded in the magnetic recording area of the film)
Used to enter or change the information recorded on the film.

The operation switch group 23 instructs a TV type switch for setting the type of television to which the present apparatus is connected, a reprint instruction switch for instructing reprint of each photographing frame, and displaying of information sent from the personal computer 28. It includes an external display switch, a winding switch for winding the film 2 frame by frame, a rewinding switch for rewinding the film, and the like. In the present embodiment, a TV type switch allows selection between a normal television having an aspect ratio of 3: 4 and a wide television having an aspect ratio of 9:16.

Next, the procedure of control by the CPU 22 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The programs shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 are started when the power is turned on with the video signal output terminal 25 and the video signal input terminal of the television (not shown) being connected by a cable. In step S1, whether or not the film cartridge 1 is loaded in the viewing device is detected by a loading detection switch (not shown), and when the cartridge 1 is loaded, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, it is determined whether the state detection switch 6 is on or off, and if it is off, that is, if the film in the cartridge 1 is an undeveloped film, the process returns to step S1.
Go to 3.

In step S3, the feeding / rewinding motor 5 is rotated in the film feeding direction through the motor control circuit 18 to feed the film 2 from the cartridge 1. The delivered film 2 passes immediately after the opening 26 and is guided to the winding spool 3, and the film encoder 8 is rotated by the movement of the film at this time. In step S4,
The amount of film delivered is detected from the output of the film encoder 8, and it is determined whether the leading end of the film 2 has reached the winding spool 3. If step S4 is positive, step S
At 5 the motor control circuit 18 stops the feed / rewind motor 5.

At step S6, a predetermined photographing frame is opened 2
The hoisting motor 4 is driven through the motor control circuit 18 so as to position the film 2, and the hoisting spool 3 is rotated in the hoisting direction to wind the film 2. In step S7, it waits for one photo interrupter 9 to detect the perforation of the film 2, and if detected, the process proceeds to step S8. The photographic frame to be positioned approaches the opening 26 immediately after the photo interrupter 9 detects the perforation.

In step S8, the magnetic reading circuit 20
The magnetic head 7 is driven via the magnetic head to start reading the magnetic data on the frame from the magnetic recording area of the frame to be positioned. These magnetic data are recorded by a camera (not shown) at the time of shooting, and include, for example, a shooting angle of view or an aspect ratio (print size) at the time of additional printing, a shooting date or a shooting time. Magnetic reading circuit 20
Reads a magnetic signal from the magnetic head 7, converts it into magnetic information, and inputs it to the CPU 22. The input magnetic information is stored in the memory 24. The aspect ratio of the photographed image formed on the film is constant regardless of the print size.

In step S9, the other photo interrupter 10 waits until the perforation of the film 2 is detected, and when it is detected, it is judged that the winding is completed, the magnetic reading circuit 20 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, the hoisting motor 4 is controlled by the motor control circuit 18.
To stop. The photographing frame to be positioned is positioned with respect to the opening 26 when the photo interrupter 10 detects the perforation.

In step S11, the illumination control circuit 19 turns on the illumination light source 11. The illumination light of the light source 11 is
The film 2 is illuminated from the back side via the diffusion plate 12, and the light transmitted through the film 2 passes through the imaging lens 13 to the CCD 1
4 is imaged. In step S12, the imaging lens 13
The initial value of the focal length of is calculated. In step S13,
The AF / zoom control circuit 17 is activated to operate the imaging lens 13
Zooming drive and set the focal length to the initial value. That is, for example, when the imaging lens 13 is zoomed to the enlarged position, the imaging lens 13 is zoomed down so that the entire image defined by the opening 26 is displayed on the TV screen.

In step S14, the aspect ratio (print size) at the time of additional printing is determined based on the magnetic data read in step S8. There are three print sizes: a normal size with an aspect ratio of 2: 3, a wide size with an aspect ratio of 9:16, and a panoramic size with an aspect ratio of 1: 3. If the print size for the positioned photographed frame is the normal size, the process proceeds to step S15, if it is the wide size, the process proceeds to step S16, and if it is the panoramic size, the process proceeds to step S17. Steps S15 to S17
Then, it is determined which of the wide TV and the normal TV is set by the TV type switch which constitutes the operation switch group 23. In steps S18 to S23, the setting of the mask circuit 161 is changed as follows according to the determination result of steps S14 to S17 so as to form an image having a predetermined aspect ratio.

(1) When the print size is normal and the TV type is wide: In this case, the process proceeds to step S18, and the image having the aspect ratio of 3: 4 (the image in the image area IA) is placed above and below the image. Mask so that an image with an aspect ratio of 9:16 can be obtained. Further, the image masked with the aspect ratio of 9:16 is further masked in the left-right direction to have the aspect ratio of 2: 3 when printing in the normal size. As a result, an image (see FIG. 9A) that is masked vertically and horizontally is obtained. Since a wide television cuts and displays a TV image with an aspect ratio of 3: 4 by cutting the upper and lower parts, the image displayed on the TV screen is a left and right masked image as shown in FIG. 9D.

(2) When the print size is normal and the TV type is normal: In this case, the process proceeds to step S19,
The upper and lower sides of the image input from the image pickup circuit 15 are masked to form an image having an aspect ratio of 2: 3. Figure 1 on the screen of a normal TV
As shown in 0 (a), the image is masked at the top and bottom.

(3) When the print size is wide and the TV type is wide: In this case, the process proceeds to step S20.
The upper and lower sides of the image input from the image pickup circuit 15 are masked to form an image having an aspect ratio of 9:16. As a result, an image in which the top and bottom are masked is obtained as shown in FIG. FIG. 9 (e) is displayed on the screen of the wide television.

(4) When the print size is wide and the TV type is normal: In this case, the process proceeds to step S21, where the upper and lower sides of the image input from the image pickup circuit 15 are masked to form an image having an aspect ratio of 9:16. Figure 1 on the screen of a normal TV
As shown in 0 (b), the image is masked at the top and bottom.

(5) When the print size is panoramic and the TV type is wide: In this case, the process proceeds to step S22, and the upper and lower sides of the image input from the image pickup circuit 15 are masked to form an image having an aspect ratio of 1: 3. As a result, an image in which the upper and lower sides are masked as shown in FIG. 9C is obtained. FIG. 9F is displayed on the screen of the wide television.

(6) When the print size is panoramic and the TV type is normal: In this case, the process proceeds to step S23,
The upper and lower sides of the image input from the image pickup circuit 15 are masked to form an image having an aspect ratio of 1: 3. Figure 1 on the screen of a normal TV
The image is masked at the top and bottom as shown in 0 (c). The processes of (1) to (6) are performed by the mask circuit 161.
However, the video signal has not yet been input to the mask circuit 161.

After steps S18 to S23, step S
In step 24, of the magnetic data of the film recorded in the memory 24, the data regarding the photographing frame (the photographing frame positioned in the opening 26) is read. In step S25,
The data to be displayed as characters on the TV screen is selected from the read magnetic data. That is, the magnetic data contains a lot of information, and displaying all of them is confusing. Therefore, for example, when the shooting year, month, day, hour, minute, and second are recorded, only the year, month, and day are displayed, and the hour, minute, and second are not displayed. Since the print size has already been set in the processing of steps S18 to S23, it is not displayed as characters. The superimpose circuit 162 is
A signal for displaying the selected data as a character string on the TV screen is formed, and the signal is added to the output signal of the mask circuit 161.

In step S26, the image pickup circuit 15 and C
The CD 14 is activated to perform the image pickup operation. The output signal of the CCD 14 is converted into a video signal by the image pickup circuit 15, and then converted into a display video signal by the video control circuit 16. At this time, the mask circuit 161 causes the steps S18 to S2 to be performed.
The aspect ratio of the image is set as described in 3, and the superimposing circuit 162 adds a signal indicating a character string. The display video signal generated by the video control circuit 16 is
It is input to a television (not shown) via the video signal output terminal 25, and is visually displayed on the TV screen. That is, the photographed image of the photographed frame that is currently positioned is displayed as a positive image on the TV screen, and information regarding the photographed image is displayed in a superimposed manner.

In step S27, the operation switch group 23
The state of the additional print instruction switch constituting the above is determined, and when it is determined that the additional print instruction switch has changed from OFF to ON, the process proceeds to step S28. In step S28, the memory 24 is checked to see whether or not a reprint has already been instructed for the photographing frame (captured image currently displayed on the TV screen).
If the determination is negative from the contents of, the process proceeds to step S30. In step S30, the information indicating that the photograph frame has been instructed to be reprinted is stored in the memory 24, and then the process proceeds to step S31. On the other hand, if step S28 is affirmative, that is, if reprinting has already been instructed,
In step S29, the information indicating that the additional printing is instructed is erased from the memory 24, and then the process proceeds to step S31. In addition,
When step S27 is denied, step S28-
Skip S30 and proceed to step S31.

In step S31, the contents of the memory 24 are read and it is determined whether or not an additional print instruction has been given to the photographic frame. If a print instruction is issued, the process proceeds to step S32, the superimposing circuit 162 is operated, and a print instruction mark is displayed on the TV screen. An example of the reprint instruction mark is a character composed of "* Print" as shown in FIG. 11B. On the other hand, if reprinting is not instructed, step S3
Then, the process proceeds to step 3, and the additional print instruction mark is erased from the TV screen as shown in FIG.

In step S34, the personal computer 28 is connected to the interface circuit 27, and it is determined whether or not data (information) is input from the personal computer 28. If negative, the process proceeds to step S46, and if positive, step S46.
Proceed to 35. In step S35, the interface 2
It communicates with the personal computer 28 via 7 and receives data from the personal computer 28. In step S36, it is determined whether or not the same kind of data as the received data is already stored in the memory 24, in other words, whether or not the same kind of data as the already stored data is sent from the personal computer 28,
When affirmative, it progresses to step S39. Here, the fact that the same kind of data as the already stored data has been sent means that the user has instructed the photographing frame to change the data.

In step S39, if the same kind of data as the received data is displayed on the screen, the data is rewritten to the received data. For example, in FIG.
As shown in (a), if other date data is sent from the personal computer 28 while the date is being displayed, the screen shown in FIG.
Change to the date data sent from the personal computer as in 2 (b). In step S40, the same kind of data as the received data among the data stored in the memory 24 is rewritten to the received data, and the fact that the data change is instructed to the photographing frame is stored.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S36 that there is no data of the same type, the process proceeds to step S37, and it is determined whether or not the external display switch forming the operation switch group 23 is on. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S41 to erase the currently displayed data and display the data received from the personal computer 28 at the same position. For example, in FIG.
(A) is a display example when there is no communication with a personal computer,
FIG. 12C shows a display example when there is communication with the personal computer and the external display switch is turned on.

When it is determined in step S37 that the external display switch is off, the process proceeds to step S38, and it is determined whether or not data to be additionally displayed is input from the personal computer 28. If there is additional data, the process proceeds to step S42, and the data from the personal computer 28 is additionally set as display data. In step S43, the display position is changed and the additionally set data is displayed. For example, FIG. 12A shows a display example when there is no communication with the personal computer.
(D) shows a display example when there is communication with a personal computer and there is additional data. The character data in FIG. 12A moves to the upper left, and after moving, the additional data from the personal computer is displayed.

If it is determined in step S38 that there is no additional data, the flow advances to step S44 to set a change in display position. In step S45, the display position is changed. For example, FIG. 12A shows a display example when there is no communication with the personal computer, and FIG. 12E shows a display example when there is communication with the personal computer and there is no additional data. 12
The character data of (a) is moved up.

Steps S40, S41, S43, S45
After that, the process proceeds to step S46, and it is determined whether or not the hoisting switch forming the operation switch group 23 is turned on. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S48, and it is determined whether or not the rewinding switch forming the operation switch group 23 is on. If the rewind switch is off, the process returns to step S27 to repeat the above process. When the hoist switch is turned on, step S4
In step 7, it is determined whether or not the shooting frame currently positioned is the final frame. If it is not the final frame, the process returns to step S6 to repeat the above-described processing. If it is the final frame, the process proceeds to step S49. Also when the rewind switch is turned on, step S4
Proceed to 9.

In step S49, the illumination light source 11 is turned off via the illumination control circuit 19. In step S50, the imaging circuit 15 is stopped and the imaging operation ends. In step S51, the rewinding motor 5 is rotated in the rewinding direction via the motor control circuit 18 to start rewinding the film 2.

In step S52, the contents of the memory 24 are read out, and it is judged whether or not an additional print instruction is given to the photographing frame (frame being rewound) at the same time.
In step S40, it is determined whether the data has been rewritten. When an additional print is instructed or when the data is rewritten, the process proceeds to step S53, the magnetic head 7 is driven through the magnetic recording circuit 21, and information is recorded in the magnetic recording area corresponding to the photographing frame. To do. Specifically, when the reprint is instructed, the reprint instruction information is recorded, and when the data in the memory 24 is rewritten, the old data is erased and the new data is recorded. Then, it progresses to step S54.

If it is determined in step S52 that the reprinting has not been instructed and no data has been rewritten, step S53 is skipped, that is, the reprinting instruction information and the data are not recorded in step S52. S5
Go to 4. In step S54, the process waits until the rewinding of one frame is completed, and when the rewinding is completed, the driving of the magnetic head 7 is stopped and the process proceeds to step S55. In step S55, the output of the film encoder 8 is detected and it is determined whether or not the rewinding of all the frames is completed. If the film encoder 8 is rotating, it is determined that the rewinding is not completed yet, the process returns to step S52, and the above-described processing is repeated. If the film encoder 8 is not rotating, it is determined that the rewinding is completed, and the process proceeds to step S56 to stop the rewinding motor 5 from rotating through the motor control circuit 18. Then, the process is terminated.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by operating the additional print instruction switch, it is possible to give an additional print instruction to the photographed image of the film currently displayed on the TV screen and release it. Information indicating that reprinting was instructed for the captured image (corresponding to data change instruction information)
Is stored in the memory 24, and for the photographed image (photographing frame) in which the information is stored, the reprint instruction information is recorded in the magnetic recording area of the photographing frame when the film is rewound. The recording of the additional print instruction information corresponds to the change of information. According to this, the user can determine whether or not to perform the extra printing while looking at the image displayed on the monitor screen, and can instruct the extra printing by a simple operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, by inputting the same kind of information as the information already recorded in the magnetic recording area of the film by using the personal computer 28, the filmed image of the film currently displayed on the TV screen is displayed. Can change the information. When such information change is instructed, the information input from the personal computer 28 and the information change instruction information are stored for the photographing frame (photographed image), and the information change instruction information is recorded when the film is rewound. The information in the magnetic recording area is changed for the shooting frame.

By the way, as a method for rewriting the information relating to each photographing frame recorded in the magnetic recording area, it is conceivable to collectively rewrite the frame whose information is changed and the frame whose information is not changed. In this case, exactly the same information is recorded again for the frame whose information is not changed. However, this kind of magnetic recording is not always performed accurately, and a writing error may occur due to, for example, a defective film feeding at the time of recording, and accurate information may be rewritten to incorrect information. In the present embodiment, the information is changed (rewritten) only for the photographing pieces for which the information change is instructed, and the information is not changed for the photographing pieces for which the information change is not instructed. It can be suppressed to a minimum.

In the configuration of the above embodiment, the CCD 14
Further, the image pickup circuit 15 stores the image pickup means, the video signal output terminal stores the video signal output means, the magnetic head 7 and the magnetic recording circuit 21 store the recording means, the magnetic head 7 and the magnetic reading circuit 20 store the reading means, and the memory 24 stores the memory. Means
The motors 4 and 5 constitute a feeding means, the CPU 22 constitutes a recording control means, the superimposing circuit 162 constitutes a display means, and the interface circuit 27 constitutes an input means.

In the above description, the instruction to change the information and the contents of the change are input from the separately provided personal computer, but the appreciation device may be provided with this type of input means. Also, an example has been shown in which the present apparatus is connected to a television set separately provided and an image is displayed using the screen of the television, but a monitor apparatus may be incorporated in the present apparatus, for example.

[0045]

According to the present invention, the change instruction information is stored for the photographed image instructed to change the information, and the photographed image in which the change instruction information is stored is recorded in the recording area of the film. Since the information is changed, it is convenient that the user can instruct to change the information regarding the captured image while viewing the captured image on the film. In particular, instead of immediately changing the information when instructed to change the information, the fact that the information has been changed is stored once, and the information is changed later (for example, when rewinding the film) based on the stored information. Therefore, the viewing of the video is not hindered by the information change. If the information change is prohibited for the captured image for which the information change is not instructed, it is possible to minimize the disadvantage that the information is undesirably rewritten. By reading the information recorded in the recording area of the film corresponding to the captured image and displaying the read information together with the corresponding captured image on the monitor screen,
The information recorded for the captured image can be immediately grasped, and it becomes easy to determine whether or not to change the information. The information input from the external device is stored as information for the captured image that is being output as a video signal, and the information already recorded for the captured image in which the change instruction information is stored is stored for that captured image. If the information is changed to the existing information, it is not necessary to provide information input means in the present viewing apparatus, and various kinds of change information can be input.
