ABSTRACT A camera shutter cocking system employs a specially configured cam driven synchronously with a film-engaging sprocket to actuate a shutter cocking lever from a released to a shutter cocking condition by means of a cam follower mounted on the cocking lever. The cam preferably has two lobes, each configured to maintain the shutter cocking load on an electric motor drive system generally constant throughout substantially the entire film advancing operation. Excessive terminal overspeed of the motor drive system is thereby suppressed. A one-way clutch between the cam and the sprocket disengages the shutter cocking system from the motor drive during rewind and traps the cocking lever in a released position, thus preventing multiple double exposure of the film if the shutter release button is accidentally held down by the user during this operation.
