Abstract
A front cover of a camera is constituted of two parts, namely a base member and a cover plate. The base member comprises a frame portion, a grip portion and a support portion. The frame portion is formed so as to surround side faces of a camera body. The support portion supports a part of the inside of the cover plate. A front face of the base member is adapted to be an opening except the grip portion and the support portion. The cover plate is attached to the base member so as to cover the opening. An overlapping portion of the cover plate and the base member is a little so that a thickness of the front cover is prevented from increasing.
