Camera with built-in photoflash unit

摘要

A camera with a built-in photoflash unit comprises a camera body; a photoflash unit; a detection electrode for detecting a capacitance added thereto and detecting an induced voltage generated therein by flashing of the photoflash unit; control means for detecting a change in the capacitance or the induced voltage caused in the detection electrode; and display means for informing that the window is blocked or that the photoflash unit flashed. The camera has both functions to inform that a photographer's finger is blocking the window of the photoflash unit and to inform that the photoflash unit normally operated to flash.
