ABSTRACT:
A folding camera including first, second and third housings pivotally interconnected for movement between an operative extended position and a folded position, and a source of artificial illumination, e.g., a strobe, which automatically moves into an operative position as the housings move into the fully extended position. A manually operable lever is pivotally coupled to the third housing and coupled to the strobe such that the rotation of the lever from a first position to a second position is effective to initially move the strobe into a retracted position and thereafter continued application of force to the lever causes rotation of the third and second housings into a folded position atop the first housing.
