Size display system for electronic camera
 An electronic camera is provided which, in photographing, obtains size information about an object, generates the size information, or size data calculated through arithmetic operation, or a scale pattern based on the size data, and records the scale pattern on a recording medium in the same recording area as an object image or in a separate area made correspondent to a recording area for the object image, and which, when size display is instructed during photographing or in reproduction, displays a scale (including a pattern representing the scale, indications representing the scale by characters and/or figures such as graduation numerals, and color-coded indications representing the scale) together with the object image on the same screen. The object image is taken in from image sensing system means and, when a size display mode is instructed, processing means simultaneously calculates the size data based on the size information obtained from the image sensing system means and range measuring means for generating the scale pattern. The arithmetic operation and generation of the scale pattern may be performed on the reproduction side. The scale pattern, etc. are recorded on a recording medium (including the analog recording type and the digital recording type) together with the object image in the predetermined recording areas. In reproduction, when size display is instructed, the scale is synthesized with the object image to be output to a TV monitor or the like.
