Abstract
A camera shutter mechanism comprises a shutter actuating lever movable between a cocked position and a rest position to actuate a part of the camera shutter mechanism, and a cocking lever having an abutting portion for abutting the actuating lever to move the latter from the rest position thereof into the cocked position thereof. The cocking lever and the actuating lever together include a locking mechanism which releasably locks the actuating lever in the rest position. The locking mechanism and the abutting portion are arranged so that when the actuating lever approaches its rest position, it engages the abutting portion so as to rotate the cocking lever into a position in which the locking mechanism locks the actuating lever.
