ABSTRACT:
A camera and its components are arranged to reduce the overall camera width while avoiding an increase in height. The camera includes a cartridge chamber and a spool chamber positioned to surround the lens barrel. The chambers and the barrel are aligned in a first direction. A region is defined adjacent the spool chamber in a second direction, substantially perpendicular to both an axial direction of the lens barrel and the first direction. A light-emitting unit of a flash device, a red-eye prevention light-emitting unit, which produces light that prevents the red-eye phenomenon, and a photometry unit, which outputs a signal corresponding to the subject field brightness, are provided in the region in a position to reduce the overall width of the camera.
