Abstract
A single-use camera which is loaded with a film cartridge, having a light-shielding cover on a film gate, when the single-use camera is assembled. The camera includes: the film cartridge for accommodating a photographic film; a film-winding knob, capable of rotating, for winding the photographic film; a film detection member for detecting the photographic film at a position outside the film cartridge in the camera; and a mechanism for moving the light-shielding cover to a closed position where the light-shielding cover closes the film gate when the film detection member detects absence of the photographic film at the position.
