Abstract
A lid latch device is provided, which is adapted to be used for a back lid openable to a camera. The back lid latch device is provided with a latch member for latching the back lid in a closed position, an open button for releasing the latch member upon movement of the open button from a latched position to a released position, and a detection switch for switching an output signal from a first predetermined level to a second predetermined level. The switch device is actuated directly by the back lid only when the back lid is moved to the closed position and latched by the latch member.
