Abstract
A panoramic lens-fitted photographic film package with a flash unit. A charge switch of the flash unit is actuated by depressing or sliding a charge switch plate which is formed in one of a pair of grips disposed on the front wall of the film package. A synchro-flash switch of the flash unit includes first and second contact segments extending parallel to each other toward a between-lens-shutter mechanism. The first contact segment is depressed by an arm portion formed integrally on a connecting lever of the shutter mechanism when the connecting lever is struck by an actuating lever to move a shutter blade to open an exposure opening, upon a shutter release operation being effected. The depressed first contact segment is brought into contact with the second contact segment, thereby outputting a synchro-flash signal. A light projector of the flash unit has a discharge tube, a reflector and a diffusion plate. The reflector is formed by shearing and folding a sheet material, and has splayed side reflection surfaces adapted to increase the horizontal illuminating angle. The diffusion plate is adapted to limit the vertical illuminating angle.
