ABSTRACT:
A camera having a retractable lens barrel which can be fully received in the camera body when the camera is not in use, such that the portion of the lens barrel closest to the back of the camera, i.e., nearest the image plane, stops forward of the portion of the electric supply battery extending furthest from the side wall of the camera body to which the electric supply battery is adjacent. As a result, the height of the camera can be made smaller. Moreover, a mounting board, with a release switch formed thereon and activated by a release button operated by a user, is located above a motor which drives the lens barrel, such that the load on the mounting board, during the activation of the release switch by pressure of the release button, is supported by the motor, so that it is not necessary to dispose a separate support member in the camera body, and the size of the camera can be made smaller.
