Abstract
A camera includes a camera body and a cartridge holder having an opening through which the cartridge holder receives a film cartridge. The cartridge holder is movable between a closed position in which the opening is covered by a portion of the camera body and an open position in which the opening is not covered by the portion of the camera body. A film cartridge in the cartridge holder is automatically moved at least part way out of the cartridge holder when the cartridge holder is moved from the closed position to the open position.
