Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus includes a main body comprising a first hole, and a lens assembly installed inside the main body for projecting from the first hole of the main body in a rotatable manner. The lens assembly includes a gear installed on the outer surface of the lens assembly. The image-capturing apparatus further includes a lens cover installed on the main body in a slidable manner for covering the lens assembly, and a linking unit connected to the lens assembly and the lens cover. The linking unit includes a rack fixed on the lens cover for engaging with the gear of the lens assembly so as to drive the lens cover to slide on the main body when the lens assembly rotates.

Abstract: A device with a viewfinder and a method using the same are disclosed. The device includes a body, a viewfinder and a linking mechanism. The viewfinder is rotatably connected to the body of the device. The viewfinder rotates between a retracted position and an extended position. The linking mechanism is connected to and rotates the viewfinder.
