Abstract
A lens-fitted photographic film unit has a main body which is provided with a film supply chamber and a film take-up chamber on opposite horizontal sides of an exposure chamber. A portion of the film unit including the exposure chamber and the film supply chamber is reduced in thickness. The front cover which is attached to the main body has a grip projection having the same shape as the film take-up chamber and a flat portion located in front of the exposure chamber and the film supply chamber. The flat portion is recessed with respect to the grip portion so as to reduce the thickness of most of the film unit. The grip projection makes it possible to hold the film unit with ease. The film unit is surrounded by an outer cover which exposes the grip projection.
