摘要

A camera using a photographic film accommodated in a cartridge main body in the state that a cartridge is loaded into the camera, the film being pressed, when it is fed out to the outside of the cartridge, by being subjected to a load in a film width direction substantially at a given position in the cartridge, wherein the position of the cartridge is set with respect to the position of the photographing opening of the camera so that the portions of the photographic film subjected to the load in the cartridge are located in the vicinity of the interval between photographing frame of the film fed out. According to the above arrangement of the camera, even if the fed photographing film is subjected to the load, it can maintain good flatness at the portion thereof corresponding to the photographing opening and an out of focus condition due to increased film curvature can be prevented.
