ABSTRACT:
A camera having a lens cover is provided, at its one end portion, with a projecting portion which assists gripping of the camera. The lens cover is laterally slided to cover and uncover a front surface of an objective lens and is provided, on its front surface, with a recess to be engaged with fingers of a hand which grips the camera. The lens cover is operated by the fingers of the hand gripping the camera to move between an uncovering position where the lens cover is positioned adjacent to the projecting portion and a covering position where the lens cover is positioned apart from the projecting portion. The projecting portion in combination with a part of the lens cover located between an edge adjacent to the projecting portion and the recess constitutes a grip portion to be gripped for holding the camera.
