ABSTRACT:
In the disclosed camera, an arrangement shifts the light detecting location of a light sensor facility from a first position offset from the camera's optical axis to a second light detecting location offset from the axis and angularly displaced from the first position. In a specific embodiment, a mount, rotatable about an objective lens, shifts a light detector from below the lens to the side of the lens so that when the camera is turned from a horizontal to a vertical position, the light detector may still be located below the lens. Preferably, the mount also carries the flash emitter of a flash unit and a camera grip so they retain their positions when the camera is turned. Effectively, the light detector, the flash emitter, and the grip remain in position while the camera body is turned.
