A barrier mechanism for a zoom lens camera, is provided with a zooming mechanism; a barrier opening/closing mechanism; a motor; a first gear train connected to the motor; a second gear train connected to the zooming mechanism; and a planetary gear mechanism. The planetary gear mechanism includes a sun gear, a first arm rotatable about the rotation axis of the sun gear, a planetary gear rotatably supported by the first arm, the planetary gear engaging the sun gear, a barrier drive gear fixed to the first arm, rotation axis of the barrier drive gear coincides of the rotation axis of the first arm. The sun gear is connected to the first gear train, the planetary gear being movable between a first and second positions, the planetary gear being engaged with the second gear train when located at the second position and disconnected therefrom when moved away from the second position, the barrier drive gear being connected to the barrier opening/closing mechanism, the barrier opening/closing mechanism being driven when the planetary gear moves between the first and second positions.
