Abstract: A camera which has the capability of having film transported and the shutter cocked by way of a motor drive. The camera has a combined film-transporting and shutter-cocking structure capable of being displaced from a given starting position to an end position for transporting film and cocking the shutter and then being capable of automatically returning to the starting position so as to enable an exposure to be made. A transmission is operatively connected with this combined structure for displacing the latter from its starting to its end position, this transmission being operated by an operating structure which when the combined film-transporting and shutter-cocking structure reaches its end position acts on the transmission to release the latter combined structure so that it will automatically return to its starting position. This operating structure has only a one-way drive connection with the transmission so that it can operate the latter only in one direction. Moreover, the operating structure includes a motor drive which responds automatically to the reaching of the end position by the combined structure for transporting the film and cocking the shutter so as to terminate at this time the operation of the transmission while acting on the transmission to disconnect the latter from the combined structure so as to release the latter to return to its starting position so that an exposure can be made prior to the next driving connection between the transmission and the combined structure for transporting the film and cocking the shutter.
