Abstract
A taking lens is held by a lens-holding rib, behind which an opening is formed as an aperture-stop. A stop plate is disposed behind the taking lens and is formed with a stop aperture, which is smaller than the aperture-stop. The lens-holding rib is formed with a cut portion through which an end portion of the stop plate is inserted to position the stop aperture at a photographic optical axis. Upon sliding a switch member upward, a setting segment thereof pushes up an abutting pin integrally formed with the stop plate so that the stop plate is rotated to move toward the outside of the lens-holding rib through the cut portion. Hence, the stop aperture of the stop plate is evacuated from the photographic optical axis.
