A camera of the extensible type including a housing having a plurality of sections adapted for movement between a compact, inoperative position wherein components of the camera are located near the camera's film loading door and an extended, operative position wherein the components are moved away from the film loading door. The film loading door is coupled to one of the sections by a magnetic coupling and a release is provided for breaking the magnetic coupling to allow opening of the film loading door. A detent is mounted on the door and is adapted to move from a first position wherein it renders the release inoperative to break the magnetic coupling to a second position which renders the release operative as the sections of the camera move into the extended, operative position, thereby insuring that the components are moved away from the film loading door prior to its opening to reduce the possibility of damage to the components when an object is inserted into the film loading door opening.
