Abstract
A photographic apparatus which can accept cassettes having markers denoting different film speeds. When a cassette having a particular marker is inserted into the housing, it displaces a spring-biased scanning lever which thereby allows or prevents a filter to move into register with the picture taking lens. Complete closing of the door for the film chamber results in engagement of the scanning lever with a displacing lever which moves the scanning lever slightly away from the marker so that the scanning lever cannot interfere with proper orientation of the cassette in the housing. Alternatively, the scanning lever can be disengaged from the marker by a film transporting or shutter actuating member which engages the scanning lever with another lever to thereby hold the scanning lever out of contact with the marker.
