Abstract

Abstract A camera portion and a processor portion are combined so that the film exposed in the camera portion is processed in the processor portion. The camera portion is provided with a roll film take-up magazine and a cutter for cutting a roll film into sheet film. When roll processing is desired, the exposed roll film is taken up in the roll film take-up magazine and the magazine is put into the processing portion. When sheet processing is desired, the exposed roll film is cut into sheet film in the camera portion and fed into the processor portion. The processor portion is provided with a first film passage for guiding the sheet film into the processor and a second film passage for guiding the roll film into the processor. The processor portion has a roll film magazine holding device for holding the roll film take-up magazine so that the roll film taken out thereof is guided into the processor through the second film passage.
