Abstract: A method and apparatus for positioning a sheet of photographic material exposed to a light image of a subject to be photographed in a large format, instant camera having a directly accessible translucent viewing screen positioned behind the camera film plane. A removable appliance is attached to the sheet material so that only a draw cord extends across the viewing screen after the camera is closed about the sheet and in no way interfers with image viewing for composition and focusing. The draw cord extends to the camera exterior so that the image receiving sheet may be fed by pulling it across the front of the viewing screen without first opening the camera back.
