Abstract

A camera has a function of determining whether a frame is exposed or unexposed by reproducing signals recorded on a magnetic-recording region of a film. When a film cartridge is loaded into the camera, the film is fed out therefrom. If it is determined that a noise having a level higher than a reference level is included in a reproduced signal read by a magnetic head, for reading the signals recorded on the magnetic-recording region, before the magnetic head reaches the magnetic-recording region, film feeding is stopped and a warning is issued.
