ABSTRACT:
A photographic camera of the self-developing type has a movable housing module located along both a film processing path and an optical image path and which supports a photocell, optical elements of both a taking lens and a viewfinder, film processing rollers, and a drive mechanism for the rollers. In a closed position of the module, the processing rollers are spaced from a film cassette in the camera and are aligned, along the film path, with the foremost film unit in the cassette. The optical elements of the closed module are in optical alignment with related optical elements mounted on the camera frame and located between the cassette and rollers. In an open position, the module is clear of a cassette loading path generally coincident with the film processing path; and the rollers, optical elements, drive mechanism and other elements which the module mounts are accessible for inspection and maintenance.
