Pop-up strobe mounting structure

The present invention relates to a mounting structure for retractably mounting a pop-up strobe on an upper portion of a camera body. A strobe mounting structure is used for retractably mounting a pop-up strobe on an upper portion of a single lens reflex camera having a pentagonal prism. The pop-up strobe has a strobe case which is movable between an operable position and a retracted position. The strobe case further has a pair of legs, which astride the pentagonal prism. Each of the pair of legs has a U-shaped cross section taken along a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof. The strobe case is rotatably mounted on the upper portion of the single lens reflex camera by a shaft penetrating through opposing walls of each of the pair of legs.
