Abstract
An electronic printing camera in which an optical image of an object obtained with a taking lens is converted to an electrical signal by a solid-state image sensor and to an image signal by an analog processing circuit, the obtained image signal is converted to a digital image data by an A/D converter, the digital image data is thereafter stored in a RAM, and an image is printed out by a printer according to the stored data, characterized in that image processing programs for processing the digital image data stored in the RAM in different ways and for printing out them by a printer are stored in a memory means beforehand, one of the picture processing programs is selected with a plurality of button switches and the digital image data stored in the RAM is outputted to a printer according to the selected image processing program to control the printer. By selecting the program which outputs the digital image data stored in the RAM as a monitor image corresponding to the object image to a printer by the operation of a shutter button switch, a monitor print can be obtained immediately after taking an object.
