2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, for example, when shooting with a video camera, when the illumination is insufficient, a subject is illuminated using a camera illumination device called a video light. However, this video light has the shortcomings of being short-lived and susceptible to vibration because it is composed of incandescent bulbs. was there. Further, since the luminous efficiency is low and a large amount of heat is generated, the casing is formed of a flame-retardant material for safety, and the shape is designed so that heat can easily escape and a person does not touch a high-temperature portion. As a result, the device becomes large and heavy, and a protection circuit against overheating is required, so that the cost is high. In addition, since a concave reflector is usually provided at the back of the bulb, this also leads to an increase in the size of the device and an increase in cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a camera illuminating device for illuminating an object at the time of photographing, comprising a plurality of white light emitting diodes, each of which emits a respective light. The parts are oriented in substantially the same direction and arranged close to each other. That is, since the camera lighting device of the present invention uses a white light emitting diode as a light source, unlike a lighting device using a conventional heating bulb, it has a long life and is resistant to vibration. Therefore, replacement and replacement of the bulb as in the conventional case are not required, and the handling is easy. Further, since the luminous efficiency is high and the heat generation is small, it is not necessary to design the housing specially, the device can be formed small and lightweight, and the cost can be reduced because a protection circuit is not required. In addition, for example, a lens including a lens unit disposed for each light emitting diode is disposed in front of each light emitting diode, so that illumination light can be appropriately focused or diffused. In that case, since a conventional reflector is not required, the size and cost of the device can be reduced in this regard. Since a reflector is not required, the degree of freedom regarding the shape is increased. For example, when the camera is integrated with a camera, the camera can be designed with an emphasis on design without being affected by the camera lighting device.
