The head noun 'camera' combined with the modifier 'flash' (a brief burst of light) yields a straightforward compound meaning ‘a camera with a flash’.

Etymology
Flash camera is a compound that names a camera with a quick, bright flash of light built in or attached. Imagine that sudden bright light helping the camera capture pictures in 'low light', so the name means a camera used to brighten dark scenes.
