Abstract
A camera (90) is provided with an arrangement for location-stamping image recordings and with a subsystem for recording location data (175) independently of making an image recording. The independently-recorded location data is sequentially associated with the image recordings and can be used subsequently to retrieve corresponding photos from a photo archive (40).
