Abstract
A film rewind apparatus is employed in an automatic camera that is capable of automatically rewinding a film that has been pulled out of a cartridge. The film is automatically rewound in either a first or a second operation mode. The rewinding operation is completed with a leading end of the film retracted into the cartridge when the film is rewound in the first operation mode, while the rewinding operation is completed with the leading end of the film remaining outside of the cartridge when the film is rewound in the second mode.
