ABSTRACT:
A camera has a camera body, a sliding cover disposed on the front face of the camera body and movable between a position in which it covers a photo-taking lens and a position in which it does not cover the photo-taking lens, a film cartridge chamber which opens on a side of the camera body which is parallel to the direction of movement of the sliding cover and into and out of which a film cartridge is put through the opening, and a cartridge chamber lid for openably and closably covering the opening in the film cartridge chamber. A guide structure for guiding the sliding cover when the sliding cover is in the position in which it does not cover the photo-taking lens is provided on the outer surface of the cartridge chamber lid. In another mode, an opening preventing portion for preventing the cartridge chamber lid from being opened when the sliding cover is in the position in which it does not cover the photo-taking lens is provided on the sliding cover.
