Abstract

A photographic recording apparatus capable of being small-sized and simplified in structure and reducing color aberration of an optical system. A refractive index distribution type lens array has a central axis arranged perpendicularly to a light emission direction of a fluorescent luminous tube. Light emitted from the fluorescent luminous tube passes through red (R), green (G) and blue (B) color filters, is incident on the lens array, is reflected on a first mirror and then is guided to a color film, resulting in forming an image on the color film. The fluorescent luminous tube is driven depending on data on R, G and B colors and the whole apparatus is moved with respect to the color film. The color filters are changed over and scan of the color film is carried out three times, so that an image of R, G and B colors may be formed on the color film.
