Date Apr. 11, 1985.Apparatus for producing a record of an object field in which substantially perspective change in one direction only is recorded. The apparatus comprises elongate aperture means (35) and an array of lens elements (34) which extends in two dimensions and is disposed in an image field. Each lens element (34) is convergent in all planes orthogonal to the array. Recording means are so arranged that each lens element (34) forms an image thereon. Each recorded image (36) is derived from rays from a range of perspectives of the object field in one direction and a substantially smaller range in an orthogonal direction and each recorded image (36) is distinct from each other recorded image. Reproduction apparatus allows an autostereoscopic image to be formed on conventional lenticular material from an intermediate record produced by the recording apparatus.
