Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4565619
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A camera is disclosed, in which the generation of a large gap between the illumination unit and the camera body is suppressed. The camera comprises: an illumination unit movable between a protrusion position and a retraction position, and biased toward the protrusion position; and an engaging member movable between an engagement, retreat and standby positions. The engaging member includes a transmission portion where a driving force is transmitted by contacting with the illumination unit being moved from the protrusion position to the retraction position. The engaging member is rotated from the standby position to the retreat position by receiving the driving force from the illumination unit via the transmission portion, and is rotated to the engagement position by a second biasing member to engage with the illumination unit after the contact of the transmission portion with the illumination unit is released at the retreat position.
