Abstract
A camera includes a camera body and a retractable lens barrel. A lens barrier opens and closes the outlet for the lens barrel. A stopper is disposed slidable in the optical axis direction of the lens barrel. The stopper moves forward to lock the lens barrier when the lens barrel is moved forward, and moves backward to release the lens barrier when the lens barrel is moved backward.
