Abstract
A camera with a retractable electronic flash assembly is provided with a cam member having a first cam face for moving the flash assembly and a second cam face for moving a flashtube in the flash assembly. The cam member is moved within a first moving range to move the flash assembly, and the cam member is moved within a second moving range to move the flashtube. Thus, a moving mechanism of the flash assembly and the flashtube can be simplified.
