Camera having electronic flash equipment

A camera having an electronic flash equipment, comprising:

• a body case;
• a photographing lens provided on a front surface of said body case proximate to a center of said front surface, said photographing lens having an optical axis, and horizontal and optical directions with respect to said optical axis being defined within a plane perpendicular to said optical axis;
• a pivot connection including a pivot axis inclined with respect to said horizontal and vertical directions, a first end of said pivot axis being farther from said optical axis in said horizontal direction than a second end of said pivot axis, said first end being nearer said optical axis in said vertical direction than said second end;
• a strobe mounting arm which is pivoted at a base end about said pivot axis with respect to an upper portion of said body case, said strobe mounting arm being swingable between a lower inoperative position in which said strobe mounting arm extends along said body case, and an upper operative position in which a portion of said strobe mounting arm projects outward from a lateral edge of said body case;
• and
• a strobe light emitter provided on said protecting portion of said strobe mounting arm, wherein when said strobe mounting arm is in said operative position, said strobe light emitter faces toward a subject to be photographed, and when said strobe mounting arm is in said inoperative position, said strobe light emitter faces away from a subject to be photographed.
