ABSTRACT:
A camera is arranged to effect easy loading of a film. The camera includes a film cartridge chamber for housing a film cartridge having a film therein, a spool for winding the film fed from the film cartridge, and a pressing plate for pressing the film onto an aperture. Also provided is an openable closure for closing the film cartridge chamber, after the film cartridge has been loaded in the film cartridge chamber, while holding a leader portion of the film remaining outside the camera and the other portion of the film housed inside the camera in such a state that it is not subjected to the action of the pressing plate. A first detector detects the leader portion of the film remaining outside the camera, and a second detector detects a closed state of the closure. A film feeder is arranged to initially rewind the film into the film cartridge to retract the leader portion of the film into the camera in response to the detection of the leader portion of the film effected by the first detector, and the detection of the closed state of the closure is effected by the second detector and then operates the film in a film winding direction to cause the film to be wound up onto the spool.
