Abstract:
A camera comprising a shutter blade supported to move open to expose a frame on a filmstrip, a shutter actuator supported for movement to move said shutter blade open and for movement to be re-cocked, an actuating spring for urging said shutter actuator to move said shutter blade open, and a metering/re-cocking member having a metering pawl for engaging the filmstrip at a perforation during exposure of the frame, is characterized in that:said metering/re-cocking member has a re-cocking portion and is supported for movement to move said re-cocking portion against said shutter actuator to move said shutter actuator to be re-cocked;a film tensioning spring urges said metering/re-cocking member, when said metering pawl engages the filmstrip at a perforation, to prevent the frame being exposed from shifting during exposure; andsaid shutter actuator is supported for movement to be spaced from said metering/re-cocking member, when said shutter actuator is re-cocked, to prevent said actuating spring from exerting any influence on said metering pawl when the frame is exposed.
