The camera of this invention may include a first viewfinder lens disposed in the front of the camera and a second viewfinder lens disposed in the back of the camera. Preferably, these viewfinder lenses are affixed to the camera and are non-moveable. A camera of this invention may further include a flash that is moveable between a stored position and an operable position. The stored position is preferably defined by a viewfinder air space and is defined at least in part by a space between the first and second viewfinder lenses. In its operable position, the flash moves relative to the viewfinder air space so that a camera user can focus on an object whose picture is being taken through the viewfinder lenses. The camera may further include a lens and a lens cover. The lens cover is preferably moveable between a covered position, in which it covers the lens and an uncovered position, in which it does not obstruct the path of light through the lens. Preferably, the camera further includes an actuator for moving the lens cover and the flash. In a preferred embodiment the actuator is moveable between a first position and a second position. When the actuator is in the first position, the flash is preferably in the stored position and the lens cover is in the covered position. When the actuator is moved to its second position, the flash moves from its stored position to its operable position and the lens cover moves from its covered position to its uncovered position.

A camera is provided with alternative mounting structures, one for an extensible flash (14) and another for a fixed flash (16). One of the mounting structures is used for securing and aligning a selected alternative extensible or fixed flash device. The other is covered by a camera casing (20). The casing (20) defines first (82) and second (84) apertures aligned with the first and second mounting structures, respectively. The first aperture (82) provides access through the casing (20) for mounting the extensible flash assembly on the first mounting structure and the second aperture (84) permits passage through the casing of illumination from the fixed flash (16) assembly. A method of assembling a photographic camera also is provided including the steps of assembling alternative extensible and fixed flash assemblies; forming a core (12) including alternative flash mounting structures corresponding to and adapted to receive the respective flash assemblies; coupling a selected one of the flash assemblies to the corresponding mounting structure; and covering the core with a camera casing.

A disc camera in which a cartridge pocket for accommodating a disc film cartridge (FC) is disposed on the left side of the camera as viewed from the front of the camera so that an exposure window is allowed to be located at the right end as viewed from the direction. A flashlight unit (21), (31), (41), (53) and a capacitor (22), (32) for flashing are arrayed on the right side of the cartridge pocket in parallel therewith in a plane. The capacitor (22), (32), is disposed under the flashlight unit (21), (31), (41), (53). The flashlight unit is allowed to move in a horizontal direction, a vertical direction or slantly. The flashlight unit (21), (31), (41), (53) is provided in a movable lens-protecting member (42a) which is at least capable of covering the lens (43a).

An imaging apparatus includes an apparatus body having an outer casing, at least a shutter mechanism and an imaging device placed inside the outer casing, an opening formed in the outer casing, and a storage space and a placement space defined inside the outer casing and communicating with the opening and the storage space, respectively, a strobe unit having a lid part and a light-emitting part and connected to the apparatus body so as to be movable between close and open positions, a sensor unit placed in the placement space and having an autofocus sensor and a sensor adjusting part having plural adjusting screws, and a mirror placed inside the outer casing to reflect part of incident light toward the autofocus sensor. When the strobe unit is moved to the open position, the storage space is defined as an adjustment space into which an adjustment jig can be inserted.

On a drive ring, a first flash lamp cam groove 30a and a second flash lamp cam groove 30b are formed. The first flash lamp cam engages with a flash unit to bring the flash unit into an in-use state when an imaging apparatus is in an imaging state, and to bring the flash unit into a stored state when the imaging apparatus is in a non-imaging state. If the flash unit is moved from the in-use state to the stored state by a manual operation, when the imaging apparatus is in the imaging state, the second flash lamp cam releases engagement between the flash unit and the first flash lamp cam to engage with the flash unit, and brings the imaging apparatus into the non-imaging state from the imaging state while maintaining the flash unit in the stored state.
