To provide a camera with an imprinting function capable of imprinting data with high resolution in an image plane direction without disturbing the miniaturization and the reduction of cost of the camera nor requiring complicated mechanical constitution particularly.

This camera with an imprinting function is equipped with a data imprinting circuit 14 imprinting the data at a specified position on a film surface by selectively making plural light emitting elements emit light and an image plane direction detecting circuit 19 detecting whether a photographic image plane direction shows a vertical position or a horizontal position. Based on the detected result of the circuit 19, the light emitting pattern of the plural light emitting elements by the circuit 14 is changed.
