Photographic prints having magnetically recordable media

Abstract

A camera provides a photo ( 7 ) printed on print media via printer device ( 6 ) under the control of a central processor ( 4 ). The photo ( 7 ) is a print of an image ( 5 ) provided by a CCD sensor ( 3 ). The photo ( 7 ) includes print media having, in addition, a magnetically recordable medium whereby sound processed by sound chip ( 10 ) received from sound microphone ( 13 ) and/or processed by central processor ( 4 ) can be recorded with magnetic recording head ( 16 ) on the photo ( 7 ). The photo ( 7 ) is printed using an ink jet printer on suitable ink jet compatible print media preferably with the magnetically recordable medium on the rear of the photo ( 7 ) and the image ( 2 ) on the front surface of the photo ( 7 ).

1 . A camera system for recording images, said camera system comprising: 
 an electronic image sensor for sensing an image;    a digital processing means for processing said sensed image in accordance with predetermined processing requirements;    a photo width ink jet printer means for printing said processed image on a surface of ink jet print media, said print media including a magnetic recording surface;    a magnetic recording means for recording associated information on said magnetic recording surface.    
   
   
       2 . A camera system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said associated information comprises audio information associated with said sensed image.  
   
   
       3 . A camera system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the printer means prints said sensed image on a first surface of said print media and the magnetic recording means records said associated information on a second surface of said print media.  
   
   
       4 . A camera system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said print media is stored on an internal detachable roll in said camera system, said camera system comprising a hand held portable camera device, said photo width ink jet printer being built into said hand held portable camera device.  
   
   
       5 . A camera system as claimed in  claim 3  wherein said first and said second surfaces are on different faces of said print media.
