ABSTRACT:
At least two rangefinder windows for measuring by triangulation the distance to the object to be photographed, are disposed opposite each other around a taking lens in diagonally upper and lower positions, on the front face of the camera body. A protective cover is provided, in the shape generally of a parallelogram slanted in the direction of a line passing through the rangefinder windows. The protective cover shelters the taking lens and the rangefinder windows when the protective cover is closed. When the protective cover is slid along the camera body and moved to its open position, the rangefinder windows and the taking lens are exposed. The protective cover can thus be made narrower, and need move less distance, and the camera body can be made correspondingly horizontally shorter, than if the protective cover were rectangular.
