    Abstract: A flash photography system with a camera body and an electronic flash device incorporates first to third terminals in the camera body which are connectable to fourth through sixth terminals in the flash device. A signal is produced to distinguish between first and second modes wherein data is transmitted to the electronic flash device and data from the electronic flash device is transmitted to the camera body, respectively, and connected to the first terminal. Clock pulses control the data transmission and data is read from the electronic flash device and transmitted to the electronic flash device through the second terminal in response to the clock pulses. An initiating signal to cause production of artificial illuminating light from the electronic flash device is provided at the third terminal. In response to the distinguishing signal, selection is made between the first and second modes via the fourth terminal. The electronic flash device provides via the fifth terminal serial data to the camera body in response to the clock pulses through the fourth terminal. Data is read to the electronic flash device through the fifth terminal in response to pulses from the fourth terminal. The electronic flash device provides artificial illuminating light in response to the initiating signal through the sixth terminal.

    Abstract: A dual optical path adapter is provided by which a camera of the type having a through-the-lens viewing system can be mechanically and optically coupled with the eyepiece of an optical viewing device such as an endoscope so that a viewable image which is formed by the endoscope can be simultaneously viewed along a first optical path of the adapter and photographed and/or viewed, via the camera, along the adapter's other optical path. The adapter is structured so that the camera can be moved between a number of positions without introducing any reversals of the object image as directly observed through the adapter's first optical path. In this manner, the camera can be focused while in one position and thereafter moved for photographing to any of its other positions which are more comfortable for the photographer.

    Abstract: An electronic flash unit includes a housing having an elongate passage. An electrical plug having a pair of contacts electrically connected to the flashtube-firing circuitry is movably mounted in the passage to locate the contacts at varying positions relative to the housing. The flash unit further includes a camera mounting bracket that is adjustable relative to the base of the housing. A ratchet mechanism prevents a control button operatively associated with the bracket and an electrical control switch from closing the switch to energize the flashtube-firing circuitry when the bracket engages the housing base.

    Abstract: A photographic camera is provided with means for detachably mounting either a flashbulb flash unit or an electronic flash unit. The camera includes a piezoelectric transducer mechanically activatable for generating voltage impulses. When the flashbulb flash unit is mounted on the camera, the voltage impulses are directly applied across the terminals of the flashbulb. There elapses a certain time interval between the start of flashbulb firing and the development of maximum flashbulb output illumination. This time interval is taken into account in the design of the shutter-activating mechanism. When, instead of the flashbulb flash unit, the electronic flash unit is mounted on the camera, the voltage impulses generated for flashbulb firing are utilized to initiate operation of the electronic flash unit. Because the flash tube of the unit develops maximum output illumination more quickly than does a flashbulb, a time-delay circuit is utilized to effect compensation.
