Abstract:
1. A movable mirror shock-absorbing mechanism of a camera, comprising: a movable mirror which is supported to be rotatable between a viewfinder light-guiding position, in which said movable mirror is positioned in a photographing optical path to reflect incident light from an object toward a viewfinder optical system, and a retracted position, in which said movable mirror is retracted from said photographing optical path to allow said object light to travel toward a photographic light-receiving medium; a mirror-advancing shock-absorbing member which comes into contact with, and is pressed and moved by, said movable mirror to absorb shock of said movable mirror when said movable mirror rotates from said retracted position to said viewfinder light-guiding position; and a mirror-retracting shock-absorbing member which comes into contact with, and is pressed and moved by, said movable mirror to absorb shock of said movable mirror when said movable mirror rotates from said viewfinder light-guiding position to said retracted position, wherein said mirror-advancing shock-absorbing member is held in a position so as not to contact with said movable mirror by said mirror-retracting shock-absorbing member when said movable mirror is in said viewfinder light-guiding position.
