ABSTRACT:
A camera having a body, a sliding member, a shutter release, and a timer. The sliding member is mounted in the camera body. The sliding member has a shutter button arm and a shutter actuation arm. The sliding member is moveable from a first position to a second position by application of a force to the shutter button arm. The shutter release is disposed in the camera body and is movable from a stopped position to a released position. The shutter release is biased toward the released position. The timer has a delay counter and a linkage coupled to the delay counter for movement in synchronism with the delay counter, from a start configuration to an exposure configuration and to an end configuration. The linkage has a stop that engages the shutter release when the linkage is in the start configuration and the sliding member is in the second position. The stop is disengaged from the shutter release when the linkage is in the exposure configuration. The holdfast grips the sliding member when the sliding member is in the second position and the linkage is in one of the start and exposure configurations. The holdfast is released from the sliding member when the linkage is in the end configuration.
