Camera for indicating camera orientations on photographic film
First Claim
1. A camera for containing film which captures both an image and an indication of camera orientations thereon, the camera comprising:
- (a) a camera housing;
(b) a rotatable magnet disposed within said camera housing for rotating in response to gravity and, consequently, orientations of said camera housing;
(c) first and second sensors attached to said camera body for sensing a magnetic field from said magnet;
(d) an electrical circuit for generating a logic table which indicates orientations of said camera housing in response to a signal from said first and second sensors; and
(e) a record head for indicating on the film the orientation of said camera.

Abstract
A camera for containing film which captures an image and indication of camera orientations thereon, the camera has a camera housing having a magnet rotatably connected to it for rotating the magnet in response to orientations of the camera housing. A first, second and third sensor are attached to the camera body for sensing a magnetic field from the magnet. An electrical circuit generates a logic table which indicates orientations of the camera housing in response to a signal from the first, second and third sensors. A record head indicates on the film the orientation of the camera derived from the logic table.
