Abstract
The present invention relates to a camera which gives, to the user, a suggestion of how the camera be hand-gripped readily and properly and can prevent camera shaking beforehand. The camera comprises a picture-taking lens for forming a subject image, a camera body section connected to the picture-taking lens, and an outer covering member covering the picture-taking lens and camera body section, in which, in the outer covering member, the bottom surface of a covered section corresponding to the camera body section and bottom surface of a covered section corresponding to the lower portion of the picture-taking lens are formed of a member of a higher friction coefficient than a remaining surface.
