ABSTRACT:
A compact camera includes lens cover doors movable between closed standby positions and open operating positions. A lens hood is movable between a retracted standby position and an extended operating position. The hood prevents extraneous light from entering the camera and the doors protect the lens. The doors and hood are coupled by a cam system so they move simultaneously. Springs urge the doors and hood toward their operating positions, and a latch system retains the doors and hood in their standby positions. In the operating position, the doors are nested within and protected by the hood.
