Abstract
A switch for a camera employs a switching element which is formed of pressure sensitive conductive rubber or conductive rubber, to which an external pressure may be applied to cause it to bridge across a pair of conductive contacts, thus turning the switch on and off. The switch is disposed on the surface of a camera so as to be accessible to an external pressure.
