The '''Clic''' is a simple camera for 4x4 cm exposures on [[127 film]], made by [[IDAM]] of Colombes, on the outskirts of Paris, in the early 1950s. It is identical (or very nearly so) to the [[Roc]] and [[Belco]], with a two-part cast-metal body, clipped together, and either an 'I' and 'B' shutter or no exposure control at all. Despite this, the camera has an extinction lightmeter to check whether the light is enough to allow a photograph.

The Clic is a simple camera for 3x3 cm exposures on special roll-film with paper backing, similar to 828 or Bolta film,[1][2] made by IDAM of Colombes, on the outskirts of Paris, in the early 1950s. It is similar to the larger Roc and Belco, with a two-part cast-metal body. It has a single-speed shutter, and a simple viewfinder, whereas IDAM's other cameras also have an extinction meter. The lens is named Bilux, like that of the Roc and Belco, but is a 3.75 cm f/8 (the larger cameras have a 4.5 cm lens, and its aperture is not marked).
