To securely prevent irregular recycling of a recyclable camera.
When the back cover of a lens-fitted film unit is detached and a photographic film cartridge is replaced with a fresh one, a stroboscope is not allowed to be charged by an IC 42 which inhibits charging. When a predetermined recovery signal is inputted to a recovery signal input section 47 in order to recover charging, a position-data reception unit 61 in a GPS receiving set 50 receives data about the position for which the recovery signal is inputted. The predetermined position data in a memory 62 and the position data thus received are judged by a position judging section 60. Only when the two pieces of position data match, the charging of a strobe circuit which has not been allowed is recovered.
