Abstract
The camera has a bodytube disposed in a retracted position and which is automatically brought to a picture-taking position in conjunction with the movement of a protective cover, covering the front surface of the lens tube or objective lens in the retracted position, to a position in which the protective cover is away from the path of movement of the lens tube to expose the same. In conjunction with the cover movement, the release button, which is hidden inside the camera, is also automatically brought to an operative position. The movable cover can carry a shield for a window for the view finder and/or the exposing light receiving section, if required.
