Abstract

A magnetic disc pack loading mechanism used in a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus in an electronic still camera or the like is disclosed which power loads a magnetic disc pack in a predetermined recording or reproducing position by moving a pack holder containing the magnetic disc pack therein. The loading mechanism is provided with a pre-lock mechanism which can secure provisionally the magnetic disc pack within the pack holder when the magnetic disc pack has been inserted into the pack holder and a shutter opening/closing mechanism which can open fully a shutter in the magnetic disc pack cooperatively with the loading operation.
