ABSTRACT:
A still camera wherein two sections of the camera body are connected to each other by hinges so that one section can be pivoted between a first position in which the two sections are disposed end-to-end and the camera body resembles a small elongated brick which can be readily stored in a pocket or purse, and a second position in which the one section overlies the other section and its picture taking lens is in register with a light-admitting opening of the other section. Permanent magnets are used to releasably hold the one section in the first or second position. An auxiliary shutter is used to prevent entry of light into a film chamber of the other section when the one section is held in the first position; such auxiliary shutter opens in automatic response to actuation of the camera release and remains open during the making of an exposure.
