Abstract
A one-time-use camera comprises an opaque main body part; a flash device on the main body part that provides flash illumination; a taking lens on the main body part; a light-transmitting outer cover having an opening for the flash device and an opening for the taking lens; and an opaque inner cover part, behind the light-transmitting outer cover, having an opening for the flash device that is aligned with the opening for the flash device in the light-transmitting outer cover, and including an opaque lens baffle for the taking lens that projects from the opaque inner cover part, through the opening for the taking lens in the light-transmitting outer cover, and protrudes from the light-transmitting outer cover to prevent the light-transmitting outer cover from transmitting flash illumination to the taking lens.
