ABSTRACT:
A fixed focus amphibian camera comprises a foremost element of a taking lens group on a water tight camera body. The foremost element has a concave shaped surface on its front side. When the camera is used in water the refractive power of the concave shaped surface is reduced due to the difference in the refractive index between water and air, so that the subject distance that can be focused is shortened in water than in air.
