Abstract
A power supply unit for electronic flash includes a converter drive circuit which is activated when a main switch is turned on or in response to the completion of a shutter operation or the completion of a film winding operation, thereby driving a converter for oscillation. The converter charges a main discharge capacitor to a given voltage, and when the given voltage is reached, the converter drive circuit is deactivated, thereby automatically ceasing the oscillation of the converter.
