ABSTRACT:
A photographic camera includes a built-in electronic flash unit which is pivotable with respect to the camera housing. The flash unit pivots between an inactive folded position in which it forms an integrated part of the camera housing to cover a taking lens, and an operative erect position in which it is sufficiently removed from the lens to permit picture-taking substantially without any red-eye effect. The lens is movable along its optical axis to a taking position extended from the camera housing and to a storage position retracted in the housing, in response to pivoting the flash unit to its operative and folded positions, respectively. With the flash unit in its folded position and the lens in its storage position, the camera is relatively compact.
