ABSTRACT:
A camera is provided that is capable of exposing films of various speeds comprising a flash unit capable of alternatively assuming a direct flash mode and an indirect flash mode and a film speed detector to determine if the speed of film in the camera is above or below a predetermined speed. According to the invention, a control apparatus connected to the film speed detector and the flash unit prevents the flash unit from assuming one of the flash modes if the film in the camera is below the predetermined speed, but allows the flash unit to assume the other flash mode if the film is below the predetermined speed.
