<p>The camera of this invention includes a parking mechanism (46) that ensures a visual exposure indicator of an APS film cassette is in the parked position prior to removing the film cassette from the camera. The camera may include a rotatable wheel (50) that rotates in order to move the film between a film cassette compartment, a film exposing area and a film spool. In a preferred embodiment, the parking mechanism includes a pin (62) that engages the rotatable wheel after the film has been rewound into the film cassette and the wheel has been rotated sufficient distance to ensurethat the visual exposure indicator moves to the parked position.When the pin engages the rotatable wheel, the pin prevents furtherrotation of the rotatable wheel. This indicates to the camera user that the visual exposure indicator is in the park, position.</p> |
