Strobe light emitting apparatus and camera
First Claim
1. A strobe apparatus, comprising:
- a single discharge tube;
a first light emitting portion for causing the discharge tube to emit light;
a second light emitting portion for causing the discharge tube to emit light; and
a control portion for controlling the first light emitting portion to cause light emission in shooting where an amount of light required for exposure exceeds a predetermined value and for controlling the second light emitting portion to cause light emission in shooting where an amount of light required for exposure is equal to or below the predetermined value.

Abstract
A strobe apparatus includes a xenon tube, which is a discharge tube, having a discharge light emitting portion and a light emitting portion terminal. Light is emitted from the xenon tube and is reflected in a predetermined direction by a reflection umbrella. A transparent electrode is coated on the external surface of the xenon tube from the discharge light emitting portion to the terminal. When trigger voltage is applied to the xenon tube through the transparent electrode, strobe light is emitted by the discharge light emitting portion. By using the strobe apparatus, the orientation characteristic of the discharge tube can be improved without uneven light distribution and a shortage of a light amount.
