ABSTRACT:
A camera includes a cartridge chamber for holding a film cartridge having a film usage indicator. An ejection member can eject the loaded cartridge from the cartridge chamber by at least a fixed amount. A loading prevention member projects and retracts from the cartridge chamber and when projecting prevents loading of a film cartridge with used film, stopping the film cartridge a first fixed amount from its fully loaded position. The loading prevention member retracts from the cartridge chamber to allow loading when a film cartridge with new film is loaded and returns to the projected position when the loaded cartridge is ejected a fixed amount. In a refinement, an operation completion detection switch cooperates with a cartridge chamber lid switch to help prevent double exposures by preventing feeding of film until the film cartridge has been ejected a second fixed distance from the fully loaded position.
