Abstract: A dual-purpose camera viewfinder (70) is provided. The viewfinder (70) is operable in a shooting mode and in a review mode. In the shooting mode, the camera provides a direct line-of-sight through the viewfinder for live viewing. In the review mode, an angled flipping mirror (76) is raised into the line-of-sight through and permit the user to view stored images reflected from a microdisplay (86) through the ocular lens (72). A loupe lens (84) magnifies the image from the microdisplay and directs the image to the angled flipping mirror (76). Additionally, entering the review mode closes an electrical circuit that signals the processor (100) to selectively power the microdisplay (86) and to control the display of the stored images.

Abstract: An image capture device is provided which is able to wirelessly communicate with external devices using multiple communications protocols. At least one image is acquired and stored by the image capture device. The image capture device than negotiates with the external device to establish basic communications parameters and attempts to communicate with the external device in a first communications protocol. If unsuccessful, the image capture device attempts to communicate with the external device in at least a second communications protocol. If successful, the image is transferred to the external device. If unsuccessful, the image capture device may, optionally, attempt to communicate with the external device in additional different communication protocols. The present image capture device can communicate with a wide variety of device types presently understanding different transmission protocols.

Abstract: The camera of this invention includes a parking mechanism (46) that ensures a visual exposure indicator of an APS film cassette is in the parked position prior to removing the film cassette from the camera. The camera may include a rotatable wheel (50) that rotates in order to move the film between a film cassette compartment, a film exposing area and a film spool. In a preferred embodiment, the parking mechanism includes a pin (62) that engages the rotatable wheel after the film has been rewound into the film cassette and the wheel has been rotated sufficient distance to ensurethat the visual exposure indicator moves to the parked position.When the pin engages the rotatable wheel, the pin prevents furtherrotation of the rotatable wheel. This indicates to the camera user that the visual exposure indicator is in the park, position.

Abstract: A camera has a barrier assembly (16) that comprises an integrated lens over/light hood (17), and a rotatable door (18). The assembly is movable between an open and a closed position. The assembly functions as a protective barrier for the camera's picture-taking lens (13) when disposed in the closed position. The door is located within an aperture (19) defined by the lens cover/light hood when the assembly is closed. The door rotates away from the aperture as the assembly translates to the open position. The aperture is substantially aligned with the optical axis (14) of the picture-taking lens as the assembly reaches its open position, thereby allowing ambient light to reach the picture-taking lens. The lens cover/light hood isolates the lens from ambient light outside the field of view of the lens when the assembly is in its open position.
