Abstract
A camera wherein the synchronizing switch which fires the flash unit can be moved by a first lever which gradually increases the f/stop or by a second lever which constitutes the armature of the shutter-closing electromagnet, depending upon whether the first lever reaches a predetermined position corresponding to a maximum f/stop prior to deenergization of the electromagnet or vice versa. The respective lever then moves a mobile contact of the synchronizing switch against a fixed contact. The switch is opened in response to cocking of the shutter.
