ABSTRACT:
A shutter mechanism for a camera having a release member, which is arranged to be moved in a predetermined moving direction from an original position by depressing a shutter button, and a delay member. The delay member is movable relative to the release member and in parallel to the predetermined direction. The delay member is biased along them moving direction of the release member and is arranged to actuate the shutter mechanism of the camera when the delay member is located at a predetermined position. Simple, mechanical holding mechanisms temporarily stop both the release member and the delay member at other predetermined positions for a predetermined period before the delay member is released to actuate the shutter mechanism. Utilizing this delay mechanism, the camera can be made smaller and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
