ABSTRACT:
A camera having an automatic flash function according to a charge amount and a method includes a microcontroller for flashing a strobe and carrying out a photograph when a photograph with a suitable exposure can be obtained with a presently charged voltage. A transient, spontaneous image can be obtained after the microcontroller determines a relationship between a measured distance from an object to be photographed and the charged voltage of the strobe when a release switch for the photograph is operated even while the strobe is being charged. The camera includes a power switch, a first step release switch, a second step release switch, an automatic distance measuring circuit, a brightness measuring circuit, the strobe, the shutter and a motor driving circuit which are all connected to the microcontroller.
