A camera in use of a film cartridge which contains a film wound around a winding shaft in a light-shielding condition, wherein an output of a motor that is disposed in a movable cartridge chamber drives the cartridge chamber to open and close, driven members that are arranged in a camera body, and driven members that are arranged in the cartridge chamber. Therefore, there is no need to arrange a complicated transmitting mechanism which transmits a driving force from a motor in the camera body, which makes it possible to simplify a driving force transmitting mechanism.

A cartridge holder being movable between a cartridge accommcodating position where it is concealed within a camera body and a projecting position where it is exposed outside the camera body has a lower supporting member at its bottom for driving a film spool in a film cartridge inserted through an opening into the cartridge holder by engaging a lower end of the film spool, and an upper supporting member for engaging an upper end of the film spool. The upper supporting member is moved between its retracted position where it is retracted from the opening of the cartridge holder and its engaged position where it engages the film spool, its movement interconnecting with the movement of the cartridge holder between its cartridge accommodating and projecting positions.

A motor drive system is provided with two drive units so that the system may be driven not only by operating one of the drive units but by simultaneously operating both of the drive units in accordance with load condition. Both of the first and second drive units are provided with a motor and a gear reduction mechanism. The output gear of the second drive unit is mounted as a planetary gear of a planetary gear mechanism on the carrier. When the current is supplied simultaneously to both the motor of the first drive unit and to the motor of the second drive unit, the output gear of the first drive unit comes into mesh with the output gear of the second drive unit, combining the output forces of the first and second drive units to drive the load driving shaft. When the use of only the first drive unit is required to drive the load, the motor of the second drive unit is rotated reversely to move the carrier of the planetary gear mechanism to a refuge position, where the output gear of the second drive unit is de-meshed from the output gear of the first drive unit.
摘要:
An apparatus capable of using a film cartridge in a manner that a lead portion of a film contained in the cartridge is fed out therefrom by the film thrusting, wherein a controller judges that an initial loading is not executed normally when a perforation is not detected although a fed film amount on an initial loading reaches a first predetermined amount, and stops a detector from detecting a perforation until the fed film amount reaches a second predetermined amount which is less than the first. Thus, a detector does not wrongly detect a notch on a film's lead portion as a perforation, and a leading frame is fed normally with a reliable judgment on an initial loading.

A field-of-view frame switching device has a rectangular fixed field-of-view frame and a plurality of light-shielding members for covering portions of the rectangular fixed field-of-view frame so as to vary the size of the actual field-of-view frame. The light-shielding members are composed of a first pair of oppositely arranged light-shielding members and a second pair of oppositely arranged light-shielding members. The field-of-view frame switching device also has a coupling member for coupling the light-shielding members together in such relation that, when the first pair of light-shielding members are positioned closer to each other to narrow the actual field-of-view frame, the second pair of light-shielding members are positioned wide apart from each other and that, when the first pair of light-shielding members are positioned wide apart from each other, the second pair of light-shielding members are positioned closer to each other to narrow the actual field-of-view frame. The field-of-view frame switching device further has a moving member for moving at least a part of the light-shielding members in a direction substantially parallel to one side of the rectangular fixed field-of-view frame.

A camera has an AE sensor 10 and a display member 32 disposed in the vicinity of the focusing screen 4, and a field frame switcher having a light interrupting wing capable of changing a field frame. The light-interrupting wing crosses and interrupts a predetermined luminous flux path used for obtaining information necessary for photographing while the field frame is changed. The light-interrupting wing is disposed close to the predetermined luminous flux path to reduce the space needed to house the structure.

A small-sized photographing apparatus in which a single display device performs both of a viewfinder and monitor display. The apparatus includes a body having a viewfinder window; the display device, the display surface of which can be observed from outside of the body; a pair of reflection mirrors inside the body; and a member for moving one of the reflection mirrors between a reflection position at which a beam of light from the display surface of the display device is reflected so that the beam is guided towards the viewfinder window, and a non-reflection position which is different from the reflection position.

A camera has a lens barrier which can move between a closed position where a taking lens is covered and an opened position where the taking lens is exposed, and the on/off state of a power source is switched interlockingly with the open/close state of the lens barrier. A housing for housing the camera has a barrier driving lever for driving the lens barrier. At the time of attaching the housing, the tip of the barrier driving lever is retained by a finger retaining part of the camera to move the lens barrier to the opened position. As a result, attachment of the housing in a power-off state made by the lens barrier can be prevented.

A camera body to which one of a plurality of interchangeable lenses is selectively attached is provided with: a shake detector 31; a shake compensation mechanism 32; and a controller 30 that compensates for the camera shake by driving the shake compensation mechanism based on the output from the shake detector. The controller 30 has a detector and a selector. The detector communicates with the attached interchangeable lens 20 and determines whether the interchangeable lens 20 itself has a shake compensation mechanism or not. The selector selects, when the detector determines that the interchangeable lens 20 has a shake compensation mechanism, both or one of the shake compensation mechanism of the camera body 10 and the shake compensation mechanism of the interchangeable lens 20 according to a predetermined condition as a compensation mechanism to be used for camera shake compensation.
