The camera of this invention preferably includes a combined film advance/rewind mechanism (12) for advancing film from a film cassette to a film path and to a film spool and for rewinding film into the cassette after the film has been exposed within the film path. The combined film advance/rewind mechanism (12) preferably thrusts film from the film cassette in order to begin the loading process and then pulls the film to wind it around the film spool after the film has been thrusted to the film spool. Preferably, the combined film advance/rewind mechanism (12) is manually operated and can be operated either to advance film or rewind film. Further, the combined film advance/rewind mechanism preferably has an interlock (26) that prevents thrusting of the film when the combined film advance/rewind mechanism is in a rewind position and rewinding film when the combined film advance/rewind mechanism is in an advance position.
