In a camera according to the present invention, an edge portion of a lens
barrel unit is projected and arranged from a front cover. The lens barrel
unit is covered with a front cover cylindrical member connected to the
front cover, and a front exposed portion of the front cover cylindrical
member is covered with an exterior cylindrical member as a detachable
(before-attaching) metal cylindrical member. The exterior cylindrical
member is positioned and is fixed by an stop claw on the front-cover
side. A C-shaped stop portion cover having flexibility is made flexible
and is attached around the stop claw portion, and is fixed by a screw.
The restriction on design is reduced on the appearance for covering the
lens barrel unit of the camera, and a camera exterior portion can be made
of metal.
