Abstract
A camera including a built-in strobe light generating unit having a strobe capacitor and a red-eye reduction lamp to reduce red-eye phenomenon. The red-eye reduction lamp is positioned between the strobe light generating unit and the strobe capacitor. The strobe capacitor, red-eye reduction lamp and the strobe light generating unit are arranged in the vertical direction within the camera body. To provide a compact camera, the red-eye reduction lamp is located above the strobe capacitor in a space between a pair of terminals projecting from the strobe capacitor, and below the strobe light generating unit, in a cut-away portion of a strobe reflector.
