To provide a camera with a built-in electronic flash with an automatic light control circuit whose light control level is sufficient in a practical use, irrespective of a certain extent of variation.

As for the camera with a built-in electronic flash equipped with the automatic light control circuit where electronic flash light emitted and reflected by a subject is received by a light receiving element and the emission of the electronic flash is stopped when the reflected light reaches a prescribed light quantity, the light is controlled by the light control circuit so that the minimum exposure to a recording medium for recording the subject may be -1 EV to 0.5 EV with reference to a theoretical exposure at photographing a prescribed subject positioned within an range up to a distance decided based on a guide number and a diaphragm when the light is fully emitted from a prescribed near distance.
