The camera includes a motor, disposed in a camera body, rotatable in a first direction and in a second direction. A clutch switches a direction of drive transmission in accordance with a switching of a direction of rotation of the motor. A first transmission system transmits a rotation of the motor to the illumination-angle varying mechanism in accordance with a switching of the clutch caused by a rotation of the motor in the first direction. A second transmission system transmits a rotation of said motor to a camera-operating mechanism other than a flash unit operating mechanism in accordance with a switching of the clutch caused by a rotation of the motor in the second direction.
