ABSTRACT:
A camera comprising a zoom lens having a variable power lens group for varying the focal length, a zoom strobe device having an illumination angle varying member, a zoom motor for driving the variable power lens group, and an illumination angle varying mechanism which drives the illumination angle varying member in association with the zooming operation of the zoom lens to vary the illumination angle. The zoom strobe device has a movable strobe housing, in which a light emitting portion is housed. The strobe housing is movable between an inoperative position in which the strobe housing is retracted in a camera body and an operative position in which the strobe housing is projected outward from the camera body. The zooming operation is transmitted to the illumination angle varying member only when the strobe housing is in the operative position.
