Electrical connecting structure in lens barrels of cameras

摘要

A movable rear-set lens of a camera has at least one flat peripheral region. A cam follower on the side of the flat peripheral region is located such that a predetermined space is formed on the side outward from the flat peripheral region. The predetermined space is ensured between a front-set lens and the rear-set lens when the rear-set lens takes a position optically closest to the front-set lens. An electrical wiring from a shutter section passes in the vicinity of the flat peripheral region and extends toward a camera main body. An electrical connecting section, at which a certain part of the electrical wiring and a wiring extending from a shutter actuating section associated with the shutter section are connected, is located within the predetermined space.
