Abstract
A self-developing camera for exposing, processing, viewing and storing self-developing film units, preferably of the small format transparency type. The camera includes a storage chamber for receiving a supply cassette holding a stack of film units therein, an exposure station, a processing or pressure applying station, and a storage chamber for receiving a storage cassette in which the film units are stored after exposure and the application of a compressive pressure thereto. A movably mounted film viewer on the camera is operative to move a processed film unit out of the storage cassette for viewing and back into the storage cassette for storage without the user of the camera having to manually handle or manipulate the film unit.
