Abstract
A camera has a device for metering a filmstrip having a filmstrip metering perforation in each frame thereof, the filmstrip being locked for each frame by moving a sensing member provided on the camera body into engagement with the filmstrip metering perforation. Transmission members, adapted to transmit the movement of a wind-up member to a filmstrip winding shaft so as to wind the filmstrip therearound, cease transmission in association with the engagement of the sensing member with the filmstrip metering perforation for stopping the winding of the filmstrip, and transmit the movement of wind-up member to the filmstrip winding shaft in association with the operation of a resetting member to disengage the sensing member from the filmstrip metering perforation in the initial phase of operation of the wind-up member, after the shutter has been released.
