An imaging apparatus including a strobe device having a charging circuit of a separately excited oscillation type is provided. The apparatus includes a main capacitor in which charge is accumulated to supply power to a strobe-light-flashing unit, a step-up transformer including at least primary and secondary coils, a switching element that performs a switching operation to control a current supplied to the primary coil, a rectifier diode that rectifies a flyback pulse generated in the secondary coil to supply a charging voltage to the main capacitor, a power-supply-interrupting circuit that selectively interrupts power supplied from the power supply, a full-charge detection unit that detects whether the main capacitor reaches a fully charged state, and a power-supply-control unit that controls the power-supply-interrupting circuit so as to set the power-supply-interrupting circuit to be in an interrupting state.
