Abstract
A camera mechanism comprising a manually depressible shutter release button, a resilient cantilevered support for the shutter release button which is moved when the shutter release button is manually depressed, and a rotatable sprocket for engaging a filmstrip, is characterized in that the sprocket has a spindle that rotates with the sprocket, and the cantilevered support has a bearing hole in which spindle is rotated, to allow the cantilevered support to be moved firmly against the spindle to brake the film sprocket when the shutter release button is manually depressed.
