Abstract

A picture image recording apparatus includes an image-forming device for forming a light-shielding image on a light-transmissive sheet, an exposure device for exposing a photosensitive recording medium to light through the light-transmissive sheet to form a latent image corresponding to the light-shielding image on the photosensitive recording medium, and either a control device for controlling the image-forming means to form a light-shielding image on a next light-transmissive sheet area to be exposed, during exposure operation by the exposure means, or a standby device for holding the light-transmissive sheet with the image formed thereon in a standby condition. While the photosensitive recording medium is being exposed to light through the light-transmissive sheet, a next light-shielding image to be exposed can successively be formed on the light-transmissive sheet. Therefore, the time required to record picture images can be shortened.
