Abstract

A zooming device for a camera, which comprises a rocker which operates a plurality of successively operable switches provided on each side of the center of rotation. The rocker can be turned in either direction to operate the first one of the plurality of switches so as to obtain zooming by a corresponding multiple lens group in the corresponding direction and at a predetermined speed. The zooming speed can be changed to a next speed when a second one of the switches is operated by further turning of the rocker.
