An apparatus and a method for recording images from a source which generates or presents the image, such as a screen of a cathode ray tube, onto an image sensitive material. Apparatus and method of this type are highly effective in recording a display of medical instrumentation output. The apparatus and method utilize an automatic loading and unloading mechanism in which an unexposed image sensitive sheet material is automatically moved into a photographic exposure position at a film plane, exposure is made and the image sensitive sheet material is then automatically moved to a discharge position. A changing of image sizes and number of images to be exposed on the image sensitive material can be made under operator control. Sensory mechanisms operating in conjunction with a microprocessor determine whether an image sensitive material sheet is located at the film plane and whether the sheet is in a desired orientation for a specified number of images to be exposed on the sheet, or whether a proper sized sheet may be present.
