Abstract
A still camera includes a housing having a film chamber for receiving a film cartridge having a film leader with the chamber defining a film path communicating with an edge of the housing through a channel. The film chamber also has a cavity at one end of the film path for drop-in loading of the cartridge in the direction of the plane of the film and a cavity at the opposite end housing a take-up spool. An imaging area is located at one side of the film path and a pressure plate is generally aligned with the imaging area on opposite side of the film path and biased towards the imaging area. A mechanism is provided for moving the pressure plate away from the imaging area to accommodate film loading and unloading, as well as film rewind.
