Abstract
A camera includes a shutter button for commencing a picture taking sequence to record an image on a photographic filmstrip and a mode button for selecting an operating mode of the camera. The mode button is operable to select a mid-roll rewind mode of the camera in which the filmstrip, having one or more unexposed image frames, is wound back into a cartridge in the camera. The mid-roll rewind mode is actuated by the shutter button. Preferably, the shutter button must be operated for a longer period of time to actuate the mid-roll rewind mode than to commence the picture-taking sequence.
