ABSTRACT:
A compact camera comprises a body portion, and a flash unit supported to be flipped up from the body portion for picture-taking and to be flipped down to the body portion for storage. The body portion is configured to form an exterior flash receiving pocket for receiving the flash unit when the flash unit is flipped down. An unexposed-film storage slot inside the body portion longitudinally extends at least part way around the flash receiving pocket. An exposed-film chamber inside the body portion is located to receive successive sections of a filmstrip from the unexposed-film storage slot after each film section is exposed. A film take-up spool is rotatable to draw successive sections of the filmstrip from the unexposed-film storage slot to the exposed-film chamber. This particular design is especially useful when the flash unit has a number of flash illumination sources and, therefore, requires a relatively large flash receiving pocket.
