ABSTRACT:
A folding camera including a plurality of housings pivotally coupled to each other for movement between a folded inoperative position and an extended operative position wherein image-bearing light rays are directed toward a length of film supported within one of the housings for photographically exposing the same. Another of the housings carries a source of artificial illumination, e.g., a strobe, which is adapted to move automatically into an erected operative position as the housing moves into the extended operative position. During such movement, the source of artificial illumination moves into engagement with one of the housings to thereby releasably latch the camera in its extended operative position. Movement of the source of artificial illumination in the opposite direction is used to rotate a mirror toward a fully down or non-reflecting position.
