Abstract
In order to reduce the width of an electric camera to the largest extent possible, and to improve operations in the camera, the driving motor that drives the shutter activating mechanism is a flat motor situated either above or below the spool chamber or the cartridge chamber. Additionally, to provide a camera that can be miniaturized, and with which noise and vibration are minimized, a motor device that drives at least one of a mirror device that drives a mirror at the time of exposure of the film and a shutter device that regulates the exposure time interval of the film, is arranged relative to the film cartridge chamber so that the spindle of the cartridge chamber and the shaft of the motor are substantially coaxial.
