Abstract
A reflex camera having a mirror holding mechanism mounted to a slideable track which moves the mirror linearly in and out of the optical path through the lens. The mechanism is positively driven to a picture taking position by a rotary solenoid. A shutter member cooperates with the slide mechanism. The shutter is cocked and released by the slide mechanism. Return of the slide mechanism to a viewing position pulls the shutter back out of the optical path.
