ABSTRACT:
To avoid making a device body larger through positioning of a rotation shaft of a cartridge cover, a device having a device body containing a cartridge chamber into which a film cartridge can be inserted and removed in a axial direction, a cartridge cover provided on the device body which opens and closes the cartridge chamber by rotating about a predetermined axis of rotation, and a device-composing component positioned to the side of the cartridge chamber to extend in a first direction orthogonal to the direction of insertion and removal of the cartridge, the axis of rotation of the cartridge cover extends in a second direction inclined to the first direction from a position near device-composing component. The positioning of the axis of rotation of the cartridge cover in the camera body and not along an edge or corner also improves the camera's aesthetic and ergonomic qualities.
