In a recording mode, an image signal of a desired object is generated by an imaging unit such as a video camera, and the time difference between the hour of generation of the current image signal and the hour of generation of a preceding image signal is detected by a system controller. Then the image signal and predetermined data based on the result of detection of the time difference are recorded on a recording medium via an optical pickup section. In a reproduction mode, the predetermined data are read out from the recording medium together with the image signal representing the picture of the object, and a predetermined video effect is applied to the read image signal in accordance with the predetermined data. Thus, a multiplicity of pictures shot under any different conditions by a video camera or the like can be reproduced without incongruous appearances respectively

The optical fiber ribbon assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein at least one of the copper conductors functions as a power supply. 6. The optical fiber ribbon assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fibers are bare fibers or coated fibers. 7. The optical fiber ribbon assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least a pair of notches is formed on the protective layer between the fibers and the strength members. 8. The optical fiber ribbon assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the protective layer is formed through extrusion. 9. The optical fiber ribbon assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the protective layer is made of one of polyvinyle chloride, thermoplastics and polymer. 10. A method of making an optical fiber ribbon assembly comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of optical fibers extending along a first horizontal direction while being juxtaposed with one another in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to said first horizontal direction; providing strain relief mechanism by two sides of said optical fibers, said strain relief mechanism extending along said first horizontal direction and made of different material from that of the optical fibers; applying a protective coating upon both the optical fibers and the strain relief mechanism; and defining at least a notch in the protective coating between one of the outermost optical fibers and the strength relief mechanism adjacent that outermost optical fiber, said notch being dimensioned to be large enough to help to reduce transfer of tensile forces exerted on the ribbon assembly to the fibers while being small enough to prevent easy separation between the fibers and the strain relief mechanism; wherein the strain relief mechanism absorbs most forces imposed upon the ribbon assembly, and the optical fibers extend straightly without intervening the strain relief mechanism while being fully enclosed in the protective coating with more tolerance of deflection along the first horizontal direction and less tolerance of deflection along the second horizontal direction. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein said strain relief mechanism defines a larger cross-section than each of said optical fibers. 12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein a notch is formed in the protective coating for dividing the optical fibers and the strain relief mechanism. 13. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein said strain relief mechanism are copper conductors.
