In a lens-fitted photo film unit, a flash device has a booster circuit
including primary and secondary windings, the secondary winding generating
high voltage when power source voltage is applied to the primary winding.
A main capacitor is charged by the high voltage in the secondary winding.
A flash discharge tube is connected in parallel with the main capacitor,
for emitting flash light upon discharge with electric energy from the main
capacitor. A trigger circuit discharges the flash discharge tube upon a
switching operation. A photo transistor measures reflected light from an
object illuminated by the flash light, to output a light amount signal. A
light amount control circuit quenches discharge of the flash discharge
tube when an integration value of the light amount signal comes up to a
predetermined value. A powering voltage generator circuit is connected
with the secondary winding, for generating powering voltage adapted for
powering the light amount control circuit in response to operation of the
trigger circuit.
