Abstract
An automatic rewinding apparatus in a camera has a first operating member movable from an initial position to an operating position to place a film-winding sprocket in a freely rotatable state, and a second operating member movable from an initial position to an operating position to activate a drive mechanism for rewinding film into a film cartridge via a coupling to the spool shaft of the film cartridge. After film rewinding, a knob disengages the coupling from the spool shaft, returns the second operating member to its initial position, and releases a back lid of the camera, which returns the first operating member to its initial position.
