ABSTRACT:
A camera interlocking mechanism adjusts a visual field angle of a finder and/or an irradiation angle of a strobe in synchronization with a lens barrel being further extended from a photographable position upon telephoto photographing. A driving gear and a driven gear are provided with a thin tooth to temporarily keep a driving force of the driving gear from being transmitted to the driven gear, thus allowing the driving gear to idle. Consequently, a finder lens and a strobe flash bulb do not move more than necessary, whereby the space for installing the finder and strobe can be minimized, thus allowing the camera to have a smaller size.
