Combined camera and a flash unit

A handgrip is adapted to be connected selectively to either one of two opposite sides of a camera body. The handgrip is secured in fixed relation to the camera body to prevent relative movement between the two. A manually operated shutter release member is arranged on the camera body at a location substantially midway between its two opposite sides. The handgrip is configured to enable one-hand holding of the camera body and the same hand operation of the shutter release member. Since the shutter release member is substantially centered between the two opposite sides of the camera body, alternative right-hand or left-hand operation of the release member is possible in accordance with whichever side of the camera body the handgrip is secured to.

A compact camera includes an elongate electronic flash unit that is mounted at the rear of the camera body, proximate a rear viewfinder window, for rotation generally about the viewfinder window. The flash unit is rotatable between a folded inoperative position within a recessed area of the camera body and an erect operative position sufficiently higher than the camera lens to substantially prevent red-eye druing a flash exposure.
