1. An electronic still picture photography system comprising:

  • a. an electronic camera with an optical electronic transducer means having data storage capability for storing an instantaneous optical image and a scanner which scans said transducer means at a relatively slow rate to read a stored image from the data storage of said transducer means;

    b. a recording apparatus having a record head coupled to said transducer means for recording, in analog form, single image still pictures received from the transducer means on selected portions of a magnetic recording medium including means for passing said magnetic recording medium past said record head at a first relatively slow velocity to record each of said single image still pictures;

    c. a television receiver type display device for visually displaying said still pictures; and

    d. a playback apparatus having means for selecting a recorded single image still picture to be displayed and a read head for reading the selected single image still picture from said magnetic recording medium including means for passing said magnetic recording medium past said read head at a relatively higher velocity than said recording medium passes said record head in said recording apparatus;

    whereine. the rate of the scanner of said electronic camera is compatible with the first relatively slow velocity at which still pictures are recorded on said magnetic recording medium and the rate at which said still pictures are read from said magnetic recording medium is compatible with the scan rate of the scanner of said display device to effect a stationary display of said optical image.
