Abstract
A still camera comprised of a dual, normal and telephoto, lens with flash, incorporates features which allow controlling several camera functions with a single sliding multi-position flash housing. Position 'normal' configures the camera so that the viewfinder has a normal field of view, the flash is unextended, and an objective lens of normal focal length is in exposure position. Position 'tele' configures the camera so that the viewfinder has a narrow field of view, a telephoto lens is in exposure position, and the flash is fully extended. Additional positions of the flash housing and lens and viewfinder are also disclosed.
