Abstract
A camera having a front cover made of metal comprises a plastic inner cover to mount the front cover to a main body. The inner cover is provided with a grip portion integrally formed therewith. The grip portion is exposed to the outside and protrudes from the front cover forwardly. Further, a surface of the grip portion is molded with plural ridges for anti-slipping. The grip portion made of plastic has advantages, in comparison with a grip covered with the metal front cover, in prevention of slipping and cost for producing the camera.
