Abstract

A camera comprises a cartridge chamber having an access opening through which a film cartridge of film feeding type is loaded into a cavity of the cartridge chamber in a direction substantially vertical to a cartridge shaft of the film cartridge, and a slide cover capable of turning to an open position where the film cartridge is loaded and a closed position where the access opening of the cartridge chamber is closed. A turning position of the slide cover is restricted so that communication between the cavity of the cartridge chamber and a film feed passage is blocked by part of the slide cover, when the slide cover is turned to the open position.
