Abstract
A camera has a housing and a T-shaped handgrip turnably mounted on a side wall of the housing. A shutter release element is mounted in the housing. A trigger button is mounted in the handgrip. A coupling is interposed between the button and the shutter release element and is composed of two slidable pins extending normal to each other and having cooperating cam faces so arranged that when one pin moves towards the other in response to depressing of the trigger button, it causes the other pin to slide toward and actuate the shutter release element.
