摘要

An automatic developing apparatus (100) for developing film (1) which is wound within a cartridge stored in a container, comprises a holder (32) for holding a plurality of containers (11) therein and feed-out control means for retaining said containers (11) in said holder and for individually and successively feeding said containers from said holder to a film draw-out position. Further, a shutter (35) is disposed between said feed-out control means and said film draw-out position for preventing light from entering said film draw-out position. Said shutter is openable to allow said containers to be fed to said film draw-out position. In addition, draw-out means (36) are provided for withdrawing the film (1) out of said container positioned in said film draw-out position; and ejecting means for ejecting said container from said draw-out position. <IMAGE>
