POP-UP MECHANISM OF BUILT-IN FLASH

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pop-up mechanism of a built-in flash which is easy to assemble and regulate and with which strength may be sufficiently obtained. SOLUTION: This pop-up mechanism has a detaining lever 421 which has a detaining pawl 422 for detaining a light emitting part in a housing position by engaging with an engaging part when the light emitting part is moved to a housing position and is elastically energized in an engaging direction at all times by a detaining spring 424, a detention releasing lever which is elastically energized by a detention releasing spring 433 in a direction where the detaining lever 421 is turned in the direction of releasing the detention against the elastic energizing force of the detaining spring 424 and an electromagnetic plunger 441 which holds the detention releasing lever in the position where the detaining releasing lever does not act on the detaining lever 421 by overcoming the elastic energizing force of the detention releasing spring 433. The detaining lever 421, a detaining mechanism master plate 461 for pivotally supporting the detention releasing lever and the electromagnetic plunger 441 are co-tightened by a screw 473 common to an upper ornamental plate 103.
