Abstract
A camera to which an external strobe device is detachably attachable is disclosed. The camera has an operational member for setting an emission intensity of the external strobe device through an operation by a photographer, and an instructing unit for instructing a set signal set by the operational member to the strobe device.
Claims14
A camera to which an external strobe device is detachably attachable, comprising:
- a mode selection member which selects a plurality of photographing modes including a predetermined photographing mode;
- an operational member for making it possible to set an emission intensity of the external strobe device through an operation by a photographer, in case of only selecting said predetermined photographing mode;
- and
- instructing means which instructs a set signal set by said operational member to the strobe device.

A camera system comprising:
- a strobe device detachably attachable to a the camera body;
- a mode selection member which selects a plurality of photographing modes including a predetermined photographing mode;
- an operational member for making it possible to set an emission intensity of the external strobe device through operation by a photographer, in case of only selecting said predetermined photographing mode;
- and
- instructing means which instructs a set signal set by said operation member to said strobe device.
2 more elements
A camera system comprising:
- a strobe device detachably attachable to a camera body;
- an operational member for setting an emission intensity of said strobe device through operation by a photographer;
- instructing means which instructs a set signal set by said operation member to said strobe device;
- and
- wherein said strobe device controls the stroboscopic emission intensity on the basis of the set signal set by said operational member only in the case where, when said strobe device has a function to make it possible to set the stroboscopic emission intensity of said strobe device arbitrarily, the stroboscopic emission intensity of said strobe device is not set in said strobe device.

A camera to which an external strobe device is detachably attachable, comprising:
- a switch member for selecting whether a stationary emission intensity is designated;
- an operational member for making it possible to set an emission intensity of the external strobe device through an operation by a photographer, in case of only selecting that the stationary emission intensity is designated by said switch member;
- and
- instructing means which instructs a set signal set by said operational member to the strobe device.
