Abstract
A sound motion picture camera capable of overlapping exposures by automatically controlling the sequence of a first step beginning with stopping of the take-up spool in a film cassette from further rotation in response to initiation of an overlapping exposure operation and terminating with a predetermined length of film being accumulated in the cassette in the form of a slack loop, a second step of rewinding the length of the looped film without further exposing the film and a third step of transporting the rewound film in the forward direction again while exposing the film again, characterized by the provision of control means for allowing release of a head pad from pressure contact against the magnetic head when the above second step starts.
