Abstract
A camera including a plurality of housings pivotally coupled to each other for movement from a collapsed compact position in which a subject may be framed in a viewfinder of the camera, to an erected position during which an exposure of the subject may be made, and then returned to their original collapsed position. The movement of the housings from the collapsed to the erected and then back to the collapsed position is in response to the actuation of the camera's shutter release.
