The first data printing system is arranged to print an image of data-representing characters along one of the longer sides of the image frame of the film so that the characters are printed on the printed photo in the same orientation as the subject matter of the photo when the photo is taken with the camera body held in its normal position. The second data printing system is arranged to print an image of the data-representing characters along one of the shorter sides of the image frame so that the characters are also printed on the printed photo in the same orientation as the subject matter of the photo when the photo is taken with the camera body held sideways with the shorter sides of the image frame oriented horizontally. The first and second printing systems are selectively actuated in accordance with the orientation of the camera body, whereby data-representing characters are always printed on the film in the same orientation as the photographed image regardless of the position of the camera body.Other References
