Abstract
A control device for a camera includes a single motor, a mechanism for controlling a built-in electronic flash, a mechanism for controlling a mirror, a mechanism for controlling a shutter, and a connecting mechanism that connects the single motor to those control mechanisms. The connecting mechanism operates the mirror control mechanism and the shutter charge mechanism when the motor is rotated in a forward direction, and causes the flash control mechanism to switch the electronic flash to a projected position when the motor is rotated in a reverse direction.
