A camera which is capable of varying a photographable distance range according to photographic conditions to realize a sure photographing without losing a photographic chance under the photographic condition that can provide a practicable image. In the camera, even if a light measurement value is smaller than a first reference value Sev to allow a strobe to automatically emit light, the distance range for focusing is not limited when the light measurement value is greater than a second reference value or the lowest limit value of the image surface light amount that can provide a practicable image quality in exposure. The camera is sure to be able to photograph when the image surface light amount is available to such an degree that a practicable image quality can be obtained in the strobe automatic light emission.
