Abstract: The nameplate mounting structure of a camera can be easily handled by integrally molding a flange around a nameplate portion of a nameplate to be mounted to the camera. Strength of the electroformed nameplate is improved by providing the flange around the nameplate portion of the electroformed nameplate. This prevents easy deforming in coating or assembly to facilitate handling.

Abstract: Detection electrodes formed from a thin metal plate are attached to rear faces of a lens barrier, a lens barrel and a decorative sheet. The detection electrodes are respectively connected to phase-difference detection circuits used for the lens barrier and the lens barrel. High-frequency pulse signals of a detection side and a reference side are inputted into the phase-difference detection circuits. When a finger touches the lens barrier or the lens barrel, a phase of the detection-side pulse signal is delayed relative to a phase of the reference-side pulse signal by influence of capacitance applied to the detection electrodes. The phase-difference detection circuit detects the overlap of a finger from the delay of the detection-side pulse signal.

Abstract: The camera has a reduced pop-up amount of an electronic flash by disposing a window member which constitutes part of an outer covering in front of the electronic flash and transparently forming a portion of the window member in front of the electronic flash. An acrylic cover which constitutes an outer covering of the camera is transparently formed with an electronic flash window positioned in front of the electronic flash. The electronic flash light can be thereby emitted without being blocked even if the electronic flash does not fully project from the top surface of the camera body, thus the pop-up amount of the electronic flash can be minimized.

Abstract: The outer covering of the camera can be machined and molded with high dimensional accuracy and has high rigidity by forming reinforcing portions by drawing at the top and bottom of a metal cover which constitutes a curved surface of the outer covering. The reinforcing portions are integrally formed by drawing at the top and bottom of the grip portion of the metal grip cover formed in an arcuate shape. This allows a curved surface portion to be machined and molded with high dimensional accuracy. The machined metal cover can obtain high rigidity by the reinforcing portions.

Abstract: The camera has an appearance quality highly maintained, by crushing a joining portion of a metal cover. A metal cover is crushed at a joining portion to a grip cover, and the grip cover is joined so as to be superposed on the crushed portion. Thus, exposure of an inner structure from the joining portion between the metal cover and grip cover to degrade an appearance quality can be prevented.

Abstract: A camera is provided with a lens barrier for covering and uncovering an opening which is formed in a front face of the camera and is for exposing a taking lens. The lens barrier protects the taking lens when the camera is not used. The lens barrier is driven by a motor. This motor is controlled by a motor control unit relative to its rotational direction (forward and backward direction), its rotational amount and its rotational speed. As the motor, a DC motor is used. Into this DC motor, drive-pulse trains having different duty factor are inputted to control the rotational speed. Owing to this, an operation speed of the lens barrier is controlled so as to be faster when the lens barrier opens the opening, and so as to be slower when the lens barrier closes the opening.

Abstract: A camera with a retractable electronic flash assembly is provided with a cam member having a first cam face for moving the flash assembly and a second cam face for moving a flashtube in the flash assembly. The cam member is moved within a first moving range to move the flash assembly, and the cam member is moved within a second moving range to move the flashtube. Thus, a moving mechanism of the flash assembly and the flashtube can be simplified.

Abstract: A pivot of a lens cover provided between a camera body and a casing is arranged in a space enclosed by a film cartridge chamber, a fixed cylinder of a lens barrel and a finder in the camera body. The front of the film cartridge chamber is thus utilized as a recessed space for the lens cover. Projecting parts are formed on the peripheral surface of the fixed cylinder, and chips are formed at the inner circumference of a drive ring, which is rotatably arranged on the peripheral surface of the fixed cylinder and transmits a rotational force of the motor to the lens cover. The drive ring is mounted on the fixed cylinder with the chips being joined with the projecting parts, and is rotated by a predetermined amount so that the projecting parts can prevent the drive ring from coming off. This eliminates the necessity of adding a member for preventing the drive ring from coming off.

Abstract: In a zoom finder incorporated into a camera with a zooming function, the power of a motor, which also serves as a motor for driving a lens barrel of a taking lens, is transmitted to a lens barrel driving gear, and it is transmitted via a gear train to a cam shaft, where a cam face for regulating positions of movable lenses in a finder variable magnification optical system is formed. The gear train is held by a gear holding plate, and is directly attached to the bottom of an AF/finder body frame, in which the cam shaft is mounted, with the gear holding plate. As a result, the backlash of the gear train can be small, and a hysteresis of a magnification and a visual field rate, hysteresis which is caused by the back and forth movement of the movable lenses, can be prevented.
