ABSTRACT:
A strobe control apparatus is disclosed for a strobe camera having a light emitter that is movable between a retracted position and an operative position. The strobe control apparatus includes a shutter button having a first position which turns a photometering switch ON and a second position which turns a release switch ON. The light emitter may be controlled in accordance with an automatic light emitting mode or a compulsive light emitting mode. In the automatic light emitting mode, the light emitter is moved to an operative position and emits light when the brightness of an object to be photographed is below a predetermined value. In the compulsive light emitting mode, the light emitter emits light regardless of the brightness of the object to be photographed.
