Abstract

A camera includes a driving unit for rotating a film winding spool in a predetermined direction to wind the film or for rotating a spool in a loaded film patrone in a predetermined direction to rewind the film, a magnetic head pressing unit presses a magnetic head against a magnetic record section of the film interlocking with and responsive to rotation of the film winding or rewinding spool, an activating unit for activating the magnetic head pressing unit to retract from the film when an operation of the driving unit is stopped or when the spool is rotated in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. The magnetic head is arranged at an inclined angle relative to the normal film traveling direction such that a magnetic gap of the magnetic head contacts the magnetic record section of the film at substantially a right angle relative to a bent portion of the film upon contact of the magnetic head with the film.
