Abstract
A camera includes a motor, a first planetary gear which revolves on the basis of an output rotation of the motor, a second planetary gear which revolves on the basis of the output rotation of the motor, a first camera operating mechanism which engages with the first planetary gear by the revolution of the planetary gear caused by a rotation of the motor in a first direction, a second camera operating mechanism which engages with the second planetary gear by the revolution of the second planetary gear caused by the rotation of the motor in the first direction, and a selector for selectively preventing the revolution of either of the first and second planetary gears. The selector selectively permits the operation of either of the first and second camera operating mechanisms during the rotation of the motor in the first direction.
