ABSTRACT:
A camera with a built-in strobe includes a camera body and a camera grip provided in the camera body. In the grip, a battery, a spool and a main strobe capacitor are provided. An elongated space, with extends in the camera grip along the longitudinal direction thereof, is defined so as to be surrounded by the battery, the spool and the main strobe capacitor. A strobe circuit board is roughly formed into an L-shape so as to have a cutout portion, and a motor is arranged in the cut-out portion of the strobe circuit board. As a result, the motor and the circuit board can be housed effectively within the smallest possible space within the camera grip. Further, by this arrangement, it becomes possible to realize a small-sized camera provided with a built-in strobe.
