<p>A single-use compact camera comprises a lens system (2) and an integral flash unit (4) both located within an outer casing (1) comprising a carton. The carton comprises a reflecting means (6, 9) which is positioned adjacent the flash unit so as to redirect the flashlight emerging from a light-emitting surface (4) of the flash unit substantially parallel to the main axis of the camera lens system (2) and thereby to produce reflected flash light for illumination of a photographic subject. Preferably, the reflecting means comprises a fold-down hood (6) which can unfolded and erected adjacent the flash unit. In a first embodiment, the flash unit is preferably configured to so that the flashlight is discharged substantially at right angles to the main axis of the camera lens system directly into the erected hood (6). However, in a second embodiment, the camera comprises a flash unit which is configured so that the flashlight is discharged substantially parallel to the main axis of the camera lens system and the reflecting means additionaly comprises a fold-out mirror (9) located in front of the flash unit which can be inclined with respect to a light emitting surface of the flash unit to redirect the flashlight into the erected hood (6).</p> |
