Linkage mechanisms for cameras
An example apparatus includes a camera cover connected to a housing; a linkage mechanism actuated by the camera cover; and a camera connected to the linkage mechanism. The camera is retained in the housing during a fingerprint-sensing mode. The camera is to extend above the camera cover in a media-capturing mode via the linkage mechanism based on a sliding movement of the camera cover. A light source may be provided under the camera cover to emit light. A lens may direct the light towards the camera cover. The camera cover may be transparent to permit the light to be directed towards a fingerprint positioned over the camera cover. The camera may be positioned under the camera cover to capture an image of the fingerprint. The camera cover may be positioned to retain the camera under the camera cover prior to slidable movement of the camera cover.
