Flash tubes for photographic use, in particular a flash tube is adapted to provide a light output adapted to FP-sync, Flat Peak. The flash tube includes a length of glass tubing enclosing a gas for use in the flash tube, a cathode inside a first end part of glass tubing and an anode inside a second end part of glass tubing. The cathode includes an element that helps to ionize the gas that is wound around the cathode, such that a spark stream starts from the upper part of the cathode and is prevented from spreading down wards on the cathode and changing the arc length during the light output adapted to FP-sync.

A generator for a flash device includes at least a first capacitor bank, which includes at least one capacitor of a first type and at least a second capacitor bank, which includes at least one capacitor of a second type. The first capacitor bank is connectable to a charger via a first switch and the second capacitor bank is connectable to a charger via a second switch. The generator is configured to individually control the first switch and the second switch so that the first capacitor bank and the second capacitor bank can be individually charged to the same or different voltages. Since the first capacitor bank and the second capacitor bank can be simultaneously discharged, it is possible to achieve a desired energy level and color temperature from a flash device connected to the generator.

A gas discharge lamp has a gas and has a cathode, an anode, and an ignition electrode. Individual discharges of a series of lamp discharges are spaced at least one millisecond from each other, and the individual discharges are generated by providing an electrical charge between the cathode and the anode and providing two or more electrical pulses to the ignition electrode. The second and following electrical pulses occur within a predetermined time of the first pulse. The electrical charge between the cathode and anode is of sufficient voltage and current to create an electrical arc between the cathode and the anode with the gas is ionized.

A lens-fitted photo film unit is pre-loaded with photo film (23), and is a flash built-in type. A booster circuit (46, 47) boosts power source voltage to obtain high voltage. A main capacitor (40) stores charge at the high voltage. A flash discharge tube (41) is connected with the main capacitor, and emits flash light by discharge at the high voltage. A trigger circuit (51, 53) triggers the discharge of the flash discharge tube in response to an exposing operation. A main circuit board (17a) has the booster circuit and the trigger circuit mounted thereon. A subsidiary circuit board (17b) is connected with the main circuit board, and has a flash quenching circuit (49) mounted thereon. The flash quenching circuit operates in an auxiliary manner, and automatically adjusts the amount of the flash light.

摘要:
An electronic flash apparatus which utilizes a voltage-controlled switching device as a switching device controlling start and termination of flash emission from a flash discharge tube. A first switching device is charged through a power supply line and releases a voltage in response to a flash emission start command. A clamping circuit clamps the output voltage from the first switching device at a designated voltage and energizes the designated voltage to a control terminal of the voltage-controlled switching device. The voltage-controlled switching device conducts a discharge current to the flash discharge tube.
