In view of this tendency, such a twistable truck must be designed not to cause such rolling or pitching. The structural arrangement of the truck shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) satisfies such conditions.
However, such a design does not permit sufficient reduction in weight because of the mechanical moving parts involved. 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a camera arranged to be capable of driving a flash device to move to protruded and stowed positions and to vary the illuminating angle of the falsh device.
2. Description of Related Art
Cameras having built-in flash devices have been variously developed. Meanwhile, efforts to reduce the size of cameras have advanced during recent years. The reduction in size of a camera shortens a distance between the optical axis of a photo-taking lens and the optical axis of a flash device. In addition, the zoom ratio of the photo-taking lens has increased. The increase in zoom ratio tends to cause an increase of a distance between the camera and an object of shooting (such as a person of the like), i.e., the so-called photo-taking distance.
Under the above-stated condition, the reflection of illumination light of the flash device is apt to be made incident on the pupil of a person who is the object of shooting and to be reflected by the retina of the person, thereby causing the so-called red-eye phenomenon. It has become important to suppress the red-eye phenomenon.
To suppress the red-eye phenomenon, some of known cameras are arranged to have a flash device preliminarily emit light or some light source (lamp) other than a flash device emit light in such a way as to contract the pupil of the object (person) immediately before taking a shot.
According to another known method, a camera is provided with the so-called pop-up flash device which is arranged to move its light emitting part away from the optical axis of a photo-taking lens in using the flash device. The flash device is arranged to be stowed inside of the camera body when the camera is not used for photo-taking. Therefore, this method not only effectively suppresses the red-eye phenomenon but also enhances the portability of the camera.
