ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a waterproof camera having a sealed strobe movable between a flashing position and a non-flashing position and a sealed camera body having a larger volume than the strobe. The waterproof camera further comprises a capacitor for storing charge used to flash a strobe unit, a switch fitted in guide ditches on a barrier cover, which is used to detect that the strobe does not lie between the flashing position and the non-flashing position, with a barrier member between them, a capacitor discharge resistor for removing charge from the capacitor according to the output of the switch, a terminal and a connector pin for coupling the strobe with the capacitor so that the strobe and capacitor can be decoupled from each other freely in the camera, and for decoupling the capacitor from the strobe when the strobe moves to a position except those positions between the flashing position and non-flashing position, and a hollow tube for providing an air passage between the camera body and the sealed strobe.
