- 1. A water-resistant photographic camera having a patrone chamber for accommodating a film patrone including an axis around which a film is wound in a predetermined direction, comprising:
- a camera body including an opening exposing only said patrone chamber thereby allowing a loading of said film patrone into said patrone chamber in a direction along an axis of said film patrone;
- a light-blocking lid for openably and closably covering said opening; and
- a sealing member held between a peripheral edge portion of said opening and said light-blocking lid and adapted for sealing said patrone chamber watertight.
- 2. A water-resistant photographic camera as defined in claim 1, further comprising:
- a film exposure section for exposing the film taken out of said patrone;
- a rotational drive mechanism for rotating said patrone thereby rotating a leading edge of said film in said predetermined direction about an axis along said patrone axis; and
- a film insertion mechanism for inserting said leading edge into a film outlet opening extending from said patrone chamber to said film exposure section with the rotation of said film.
- 3. A water-resistant photographic camera as defined in claim 1, further comprising:
- a film exposure section for exposing the film taken out of said film patrone;
- a rotational drive mechanism for rotating the film in said predetermined direction; and
