ABSTRACT:
A small motion picture camera having a telescopic viewfinder enclosed in a separate housing which is mounted on the top of the camera body while the camera is being used for taking pictures. When not being used for taking pictures, the viewfinder housing is shifted to the front of the camera where it serves as a protective cover for the camera lens and a portion of the driving motor, thus reducing the height dimension of the camera to such extent that the camera can easily be slipped into the user's pocket of average conventional size. The length of the viewfinder housing is equal to the height of the camera body, and the thickness of the viewfinder housing from side to side is equal to the thickness of the camera body, so that when the viewfinder housing is mounted in the transporting position on the front of the camera body, it forms a smooth prolongation of the body. Batteries for powering the driving motor of the camera are also contained in the viewfinder housing, along with the viewfinder telescope.
