          Application No. 08/474,903                                                  


          include all the limitations of its parent and any intervening               
          claims.  Accordingly, only the rejection of claims 18-29, 39,               
          41, 42, 44-46, and 51 is before us on appeal.1                              
               The disclosed invention relates to an image reproducing                
          device in which still images, such as images on developed film,             
          are converted into electrical signals and displayed on output               
          devices such as a television screen.  A particular emphasis of              
          the claimed invention is directed to the processing of image data           
          in accordance with the format of the film on which the images               
          have been recorded.                                                         
               Claim 18 is illustrative of the invention and reads as                 
          follows:                                                                    
                    18.  A still image reproducing apparatus for                      
               reproducing a plurality of still images each having                    
               corresponding image information, said apparatus comprising:            
                         an image sensor which senses said still images;              
                         a memory which stores still image data sensed by             
               said image sensor;                                                     
                         an information reader which reads said information           
               corresponding to said image;                                           
                         a reproducing device which reproduces said still             
               image data stored in said memory; and                                  


               1 In a communication dated March 29, 1999 (Paper No. 25), the Examiner 
          indicated that claim 41 was inadvertently omitted from the list of rejected 
          claims in the Answer.                                                       
                                          2
