Safety device for exposure factor setting dial

摘要

In a camera having an exposure factor setting dial positioned adjacent a film winding lever, there is provided a safety device including a movable cover arranged to protrude upwardly from the inside of the camera housing over a top panel thereof to prevent the operator from inadvertently manually altering the setting of the dial, whereby improper actuation of the dial is prevented and the camera is made substantially fool-proof. When the cover is retracted into the camera housing by engagement of a knurled key portion thereof, the operator may actuate the dial to revise the exposure setting.
