Abstract

A lens-fitted photographic film package has a talking lens, a shutter and a film advancing mechanism incorporated therein and is loaded with film. The taking lens is disposed at the upper side of a casing of the film package and a first mirror is disposed behind the taking lens. A second mirror is disposed below the taking lens inside the casing. A Z-shaped exposure light path is thus formed by the first and second mirrors. On the inner wall surface of an exposure chamber for conducting the exposure light, there are formed a number of ridges extending in a direction parallel to the path of travel of the exposure light which reduce internal reflection within the exposure chamber. The mirrors are pressed by respective mirror hold-down members from the outside against respective mirror frames, and the mirror hold-down members are shaded with respective shading covers from ambient light.
