Abstract
A camera equipped with a magnetic recording apparatus is provided which includes a cartridge chamber that is loaded with a film cartridge containing a magnetically recordable film, a takeup spool on which the film is wound, a drive motor that drives the takeup spool to wind up the film, a shield case that contains the drive motor, a motor mount having a fitting portion that fits on a centering member of the drive motor, and a magnetic information reading device that reads the magnetic information recorded on the film. The shield case consists of a cylindrical main body, and a bent portion formed by bending an end portion of the cylindrical main body on the side of the motor output shaft. The motor is fastened to the motor mount with at least two screws, with the bent portion sandwiched between the motor and a motor mounting surface of the motor mount. An upper surface of the fitting portion of the motor mount protrudes from the motor mounting surface of the motor mount toward the drive motor, and a clearance between the motor and the upper surface of the fitting portion is controlled to be smaller than the thickness of the bent portion of the shield case.
