ABSTRACT:
A camera using a film of cartridge type. A strip of film is accommodated in a shell in the form of a roll filmstrip which is wound on a film spool. The film is automatically loaded into the camera when the film cartridge is accommodated in a cartridge chamber of the camera. When the film spool is rotated in the roll filmstrip loosening direction, the filmstrip is fed forward from the shell through the film exit of the film cartridge. When the film spool is rotated in the opposite direction, the film is rewound and drawn back into the shell. The camera is provided with a receiving member between the cartridge chamber and a film exposing opening. The receiving member engages the film exit of the film cartridge accommodated in the cartridge chamber. Consequently, the space in the shell of the film cartridge and the space in the film exposing opening are connected with each other in light-intercepted condition. The film cartridge and the receiving member are pressed against each other.
