A camera includes a frame accommodated in a housing having a front surface with an opening, and a lens barrel accommodating at least one lens.

The drive cylinder includes a cylindrical portion rotatable between the cylindrical wall of the stationary cylinder and an inner circumferential edge of the opening in a front cover. The lens barrel further includes a cover cylinder covering the inner circumferential edge of the opening in the front cover and the cylindrical portion of the drive cylinder and rotatable relative to the stationary cylinder together with the drive cylinder.
