Dual film image and electronic image capture camera capable of combining captured electronic images in a single multi-(index-) image

摘要

A dual image capture camera captures successive film images on a filmstrip and captures successive electronic images that correspond to the respective film images. The camera has a memory that individually stores captured electronic images, a film drive motor that is actuated to rewind an exposed film length with the respective film images into a film cartridge, and a print quantity selector that is capable of being manually operated to provide various print quantity designations of how many prints are to be made for the respective film images. The print quantity selector can designate that no print is to be made for a particular film image. The memory is connected to the print quantity selector to store designations of numbers of prints in association with the respective electronic images individually stored in the memory and is connected to the film drive motor to store captured electronic images as a single multi-image which combines only those electronic images for which the designated number of prints is at least "1" when the exposed film length with the respective film images is rewound into the film cartridge.
