ABSTRACT:
A protective cover with an opening is of a box shape, and is slidably mounted on the front face of a camera body. When the protective cover is slid to an open position, the end face of the protective cover retreats from over the taking lens to expose it, and the opening then coincides with a flash unit and a viewfinder vertically disposed relative to the flash unit to thereby expose the flash unit and the viewfinder. When the protective cover is opened, a power switch is turned on by being contacted by a portion of the protective cover, and a projecting plate disposed sideways of the flash unit unit projects out of a slot formed in the protective cover. The protective cover is formed with a tunnel portion for passing a strap therethrough, and the strap is connected, not to the cover, but rather to the camera body, so that tension on the strap has no tendency to open the cover. Electric components such as an electric cell and the like are accommodated within the protective cover in a space below the tunnel portion.
