To omit a light receiving sensor used only for controlling strobe light and a strobe light control circuit by using a CCD image sensor also as a sensor for controlling the electronic flash.

The strobe light is emitted from the xenon tube of the stroboscopic device 50 at strobe-photographing. Whether or not a signal charge accumulated in the light receiving part of the CCD image sensor 14 while the strobe light is emitted overflows is detected by a current detecting unit 49 for detecting an OFD current. In the case of detecting by the current detecting unit 49 that the charge overflows in the CCD image sensor 14, the emission of the xenon tube of the stroboscopic device 50 is stopped.
