Abstract

A camera comprising a manually depressible release button for a shutter, and a frame counter for indicating the number of exposures remaining to be made on a filmstrip, is characterized in that the release button is at least partially transparent and the frame counter is beneath the release button to permit the frame counter to be seen through the release button, whereby there is no need for a separate window for viewing the frame counter.
