Abstract
A camera includes a flash emission part arranged to move between a stowage position and a usage position, an operation member capable of being displaced by a sliding operation in a predetermined direction, and a transmission member which transmits to the flash emission part an amount of displacement of the operation member caused by the sliding operation, wherein the transmission member enlarges an amount of the sliding operation on the operation member and transmits the enlarged amount of the sliding operation to the flash emission part, so that the flash emission part is moved greater than the amount of displacement of the operation member.
