Control device for a camera capable of using a flash device

A control device for a camera capable of using a flash device and provided with a first shutter, being a physical property shutter, capable of selectively guiding a light flux from an object onto a film surface through a photographic lens and a second shutter for selectively guiding the light flux passing through said first shutter onto the film surface, said control device comprising:

• a control circuit including a first photographic program for exposing the film surface to the light flux by making said first shutter open to the light flux in a state where said second shutter is fully opened to the light flux and a second photographing program for exposing the film surface to the light flux by making said second shutter open to the light flux in a state where said first shutter is fully opened to the light flux, said control circuit selectively executing one of said first photographing program and said second photographing program, and producing a light signal in synchronization with said first shutter, said control circuit producing a timing signal to synchronize the flashing with the first shutter;
• and
• a flash control circuit for controlling, in conformance with said light signal, said flash device when performing flash photographing, said flash control circuit controlling said flash device in synchronization with said first shutter when said first photographing program is selected and controlling said flash device in synchronization with said second shutter when said second photographing program is selected.
