Abstract

A film adaptor, to be used in combination with a still video camera, for recording an image from a conventional photographic film using the still video camera. The film adaptor has a recording button and an erasing button. By depressing the recording button, the image on the film is recorded by the still video camera and is reproduced immediately thereafter, for confirmation of the recorded image. If the image is considered unnecessary, the erasing button is depressed while the recording button remains depressed, whereupon the recorded image is erased. The film image recording operation is therefore conducted in a simple manner.
