ABSTRACT:
A camera having a flash, a focal plane shutter, a mechanism for changing a size of a film frame by changing a size of an aperture of the camera, and a mechanism for setting a flash synchronized shutter speed. The focal plane shutter has a leading-shutter-curtain and a trailing-shutter-curtain, which are moved in a vertical direction of the aperture to thereby open and close the aperture. The changing mechanism changes the aperture size in the vertical direction to obtain a panoramic style frame and a standard frame. The setting mechanism sets the flash synchronized shutter speed to a high speed when the aperture is changed to a panoramic style frame having a vertical size which is smaller than that of a standard frame. The output of the flash can be started at a time at which a trailing edge of the leading-shutter-curtain passes a lower side of the panoramic style frame.
