Abstract

A camera has automatic and manual focussing controls and means for preventing simultaneous operation thereof. As shown, a displaceable barrier 52 in one position prevents operation of a manual focus actuator 50, an automatic acoustic focusing system 12, 22, 26 being then operative. In another position, the barrier 52 is displaced allowing access to the manual focus actuator 50, the displacement of the barrier simultaneously disengaging the drive 30 from the automatic focusing means to the variable focus lens. The displacement of the barrier may also serve to remove electrical energy from the automatic focusing system to conserve electrical power. The invention is particularly intended for folding, self- processing cameras. <IMAGE> [GB2005852A]
