Integral image recording and image playback system

摘要

An image pickup device which includes a device for picking up an image of an object and photoelectrically converting the image into an image signal, a photograph indicating device, for indicating a photographing of the object, an exposure amount setting device, for setting an amount of exposure for effecting photoelectric conversion by the image pickup device and an exposure amount control device, for controlling the exposure amount setting device. The device also includes a recording device, for recording the image signal outputted from the image pickup device, a reproducing device, for reproducing the image signal recorded by the recording device, a change-over operating member, for selectively changing over a recording mode effected by the recording device, or a reproducing mode effected by the reproducing device, an image display device, for selectively displaying the image before recording or the reproduced image in a manner visible from outside, and a control device, for effecting control in response to the operation of the change-over operating member to change over the recording mode and the reproducing mode so that in the recording mode the continuous image signal before recording by the recording device, which has been changed by driving of the exposure amount setting device is displayed by the image display device. At least the image pickup device and the image display device are arranged to form a substantially integral construction.
