An APS single use camera (10) has a cover (14) with an aperture (22) that provides access to the film sensor (46) and the light lock door driver (40) via a tool (90) adapted to be received into the aperture (22). The tool (90) is used to open the light lock door (42) and push the film sensor (46) out o f the film path so as to enable film from the APS film cassette (18) to be scrolled into the film path (36). The structure permits pre-loading of film outside of a darkroom, and such a method is disclosed. The camera also emplo ys a brake (65) that prevents the film sensor (46) from sensing for the presenc e or absence of film (32) except during a brief sensing interval that occurs during a film advance operation.
