Abstract

A camera comprises a shutter-flash synchronization contact, a pair of battery contacts, a flash capacitor, and a flash circuit board conductively connected to the shutter-flash synchronization contact, the pair of battery contacts and the flash capacitor. A holder which holds the flash capacitor is conductively connected to the flash circuit board and is integrally united with the shutter-flash synchronization contact and the pair of battery contacts to conductively connect the shutter-flash synchronization contact and the battery contacts to the flash circuit board. As a result, the camera can be made relatively compact.
