<p>A pop-up flash for a photographing apparatus is provided. The pop-up flash includes a flash body to emit an illuminating light. The flash body is movable between a retracted position and a raised position. The pop-up flash further includes a locking lever having a locking boss which engages an engaging member formed at one of the flash body and a body of the photographing apparatus. Thus, when the flash body is positioned at the retracted position, and installed to the other of the flash body and the body of the photographing apparatus, the flash body may pivotally move between a first position at which the locking boss is engaged to the flash body and a second position at which the locking boss is released from the flash body. Furthermore, a resilient member urges the flash body in a pop-up direction. A locking member is provided to lock the locking lever when the flash body is positioned at the retracted position and to release the locking lever when the flash body is positioned at the raised position. The locking member is urged toward the second position when the locking boss contacts with the flash body and popped up by the resilient member when the flash body is positioned at the raised position. <IMAGE></p> |
