CAMERA WITH LED LIGHTING SOURCE

摘要

An external lighting source for a camera (10) is provided. A visible spectrum light emitting diode (20) or diodes is/are used instead of the conventional gas tube flash mechanism of a camera to bathe a scene in bright visible light. A reflector (12) directs the light from the LED(s) outward from the camera to illuminate a scene in a fairly uniform manner during the image captured period.
