One of the camera's most important mechanisms, the shutter controls the light exposure by opening for a precisely determined time and then closing. With film cameras, it can be a piece of black cloth or articulating steel in the center of the film chamber. It is designed to prevent light from striking the film surface while the shutter button [..]

In photography and digital photography applications, the shutter is the device on the camera that opens and closes to control how long the focal plane is exposed to light. On a video camera there is n [..]

The physical device that opens and closes to let light from the scene strike the image sensor. Digicams use both electronic and mechanical shutters. Shutter Lag

A shutter is used to prevent light entering the spectrometer during dark measurements. It is typically controlled from the spectrometer as an external strobe so that it opens and closes in time with measurements. Shutters can be connected via optical fibres in front of the spectrometer, but the QE Pro contains an internal shutter to offer this cont [..]

Usually lightweight louvered decorative frames in the form of doors located on the sides of a window. Some shutters are made to close over the window for protection.

Means of controlling the amount of time light is allowed to pass through the lens onto the film.

The physical device that opens and closes to let light from the scene strike the image sensor. Digicams use both electronic and mechanical shutters.

Traditionally, this is a mechanical curtain that opens and closes to expose the image sensor. Many digital cameras have an "electronic shutter." The camera collects data from the sensor for [..]

In a focal plane shutter, a set of curtains travels past the film gate and allows light to strike the film within a set period of time. A leaf shutter is located within the lens itself.

A mechanism that controls the length of time that the image sensor is exposed to the light entering via the lens. The shutter is normally closed, preventing light from reaching the image sensor. When [..]

Ability to control the integration (of light) time to the sensor to less than 1/60 second; e.g: stop motion of moving traffic.

disk with 180 degrees cut out which rotates, so that each frame passing the aperture is exposed to light. The size of the cut out can be varied; a narrow shutter angle results in a strobing effect.

Ability to control the integration (of light) time to the sensor to less than 1/60 second; e.g. stop motion of moving traffic.

A mechanism containing curtains, blades or plates that control the length of time film is exposed to light.

Shutter is the physical mechanism that holds back light from hitting the image sensor or film frame. The shutter is comprised of two curtains that open at slightly different times to allow for light exposure.

A device that opens and closes in a camera to allow light to pass through the camera body to the imaging sensor or film. Read articles that include this term

the mechanical shutter of a traditional camera for taking photographs.

A camera mechanism that opens and closes for a chosen period of time, allowing light to pass through to a camera’s film or sensor and record images. Shutter speed is one aspect of the exposure triangl [..]

Blades, a curtain, plate, or some other movable cover in a camera that controls the time during which light reaches the film. Shutter Priority

Simply put, it's the part of the digital camera that opens and closes to actually take the image. When the shutter is open, the image is being recorded.

mechanical system used to control the time that light is allowed to act on the sensitive emulsion.

A mechanism in the camera that controls the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor.

a device for closing off an oar bed or oar port
