ABSTRACT:
An electronic flash device, included in a compact camera whose flash-emitting part having a xenon tube is displaceable between a projecting position at which the flash-emitting part projects from a cover of the camera and a housing position at which the flash-emitting part is housed inside the cover thereof, for ensuring enough distance between a photographing lens and the flash-emitting part to prevent an occurrence of "red-eye phenomenon" upon photographing. In the cover which slides sideways with respect to a main body of the camera, is mounted the flash-emitting part and a spring which biases the flash-emitting part to the projecting position. A cam plate is installed on the main body while a cam follower, driven by the cam plate, for moving the flash-emitting part between the projecting and housing position, is mounted by a pivot in the cover so that the flash-emitting part is moved to the projecting position when the cover is slid open whereas the flash-emitting part is moved to the housing position when the cover is closed.
