ABSTRACT:
A camera comprising a housing, a chamber within the housing for a film cassette which includes a light shield that is opened to allow movement of a filmstrip through a film passageway to the cassette interior and is closed to prevent ambient light from entering the cassette interior through the film passageway, and a driver rotatable within the housing in opening and closing directions in engagement with the light shield to open and close the light shield, is characterized in that a control lever connected to the driver can be rotationally positioned to protrude out of the housing from a slot in the housing, when the light shield is open, to permit the control lever to be grasped to be manual rotated in the closing direction, and can be positioned not to protrude out of the housing from the slot, when the light shield is closed, to substantially prevent the control lever from being grasped to be manually rotated in the opening direction.
