A pop-up flash of a camera includes a flash unit movable between a
retracted position, in which the flash unit is accommodated in a camera
body, and a fully-lifted position, in which the flash unit projects from
the camera body; a biasing device which biases the flash unit toward the
fully-lifted position; and a speed-change mechanism for changing a speed
of movement of the flash unit, which is driven by the biasing force of
the biasing device, during movement of the flash unit in a projecting
direction from the retracted position to the fully-lifted position.
