Abstract: A camera which can prevent a photographic objective in the camera from being covered with the fingers of a photographer. In the camera, around the photographic objective in the front surface of the camera, there is formed a projected portion, a recessed portion or the like that can be perceived by the sense of touch. In photographing, when the photographer's fingers approach the photographic objective, then they come into contact with the projected portion or the like to tell the photographer that the photographic objective is near the fingers. This eliminates the possibility of the photographic objective being covered with the fingers.
