ABSTRACT:
A camera comprising a main body part having a backframe opening for exposing successive sections of a filmstrip, a metering sprocket rotatably supported on the main body part proximate the backframe opening and having respective teeth that can project through individual perforations in the filmstrip to engage successive sections of the filmstrip at the backframe opening, and a rear cover part having a plurality of parallel film guide ribs longitudinally extending to guide successive sections of the filmstrip over the backframe opening, is characterized in that one of the film guide ribs includes an integral portion configured to at least partially surround the teeth of the metering sprocket one at a time, in a predetermined location at which each tooth projects from one of the perforations in the filmstrip, to retain a film section at the backframe opening in engagement with the tooth.
