Abstract
A camera comprises an operating member mounted for rotation in first and second opposite directions by manual operation for winding and rewinding a film, respectively. A rotational winding member is mounted for connection to and disconnection from the operating member. A control member is mounted for movement between first and second positions for controlling the rotating direction of the operating member. When the control member is disposed in the first position, the operating member can be rotated only in the first direction and the rotational winding member is connected to the operating member for rotation therewith to wind the film. When the control member is disposed in the second position, the operating member can be rotated only in the second direction to rewind the film while the rotational winding member is disconnected from and does not rotate with the operating member.
