Dual-action single-key mechanism

A camera device comprising a lens, a camera shutter, and a switch assembly for focusing an image entering said lens and activating said camera shutter, said switch assembly comprising:

• a base;
• a push key comprising a resilient form securable to an external housing to be in spaced relation above said base;
• an inner switch comprising a first upper contact supported above a first lower contact and actuated by movement of said push key, said first lower contact being supported by said base;
• and,
• an outer switch surrounding at least a portion of said inner switch, said outer switch comprising a second upper contact supported above a second lower contact and actuated by said push key, said second lower contact being supported by said base;
• wherein a first movement of said push key towards said base engages either said first contacts or said second contacts thereby focusing said image entering said lens, and a further movement of said push key towards said base engages the other of said first contacts or said second contacts through deformation of said resilient form thereby activating said camera shutter to capture said image.
