  • Patent number: 11061300
    Abstract: A flash housing for photographic purposes and method for controlling a flash light is disclosed. The flash housing comprises a flash forming element arranged to generate a flash light. The flash housing further comprises a lens element having a substantially circular cross-section and being arranged to let at least part of the generated flash light out of the flash housing so as to obtain the flash. The flash housing further comprises a zoom element rotatably arranged at least partly along the circumference of the lens element. The zoom element is operatively connected to the flash forming element so as to control movement of the flash forming element by manual rotation of the zoom element.
