Abstract
A slide cover is movably attached to a camera body. The slide cover is moved to a photographing position when a picture is taken. At the time of photographing, the slide cover is utilized as a right-hand grip. A rear face of the slide cover is provided with a zoom operating member which is swingable around a horizontal shaft. An upper side of the zoom operating member is a telephoto operating portion, and a lower side thereof is a wide-angle operating portion. The telephoto operating portion and the wide-angle operating potion are vertically arranged so as to be perpendicular to a moving direction of the slide cover.
