Abstract
A camera comprises a camera main body, a taking lens provided at the camera main body and a sliding cover which is capable of sliding between a closed position at which the sliding cover covers the front surface of the taking lens and an open position at which the sliding cover withdraws from the front surface of the taking lens, along the front surface of the camera main body. The camera main body is provided with an outer cover and a groove forming member which is positioned on the inside of the outer cover, where a guide groove extending in the sliding direction of the sliding cover is formed. The sliding cover is provided with a through portion which passes through the outer cover. And a guide projection formed at the through portion is connected with the guide groove in such a manner that they can slide to guide the sliding movement of the sliding cover.
