Abstract

An extremely durable, super-high speed shutter with speeds of 1/8000 second or faster advantageously increases the blade acceptance rate, reduces the cost, prevents abnormalities such as light leaking between the curtains and the like, contributes to the implementation of a super-high speed shutter with speeds exceeding 1/8000 of a second, corresponding to TTL multi-pattern light adjustment, and the like. The shutter includes a front curtain and a rear curtain each including a plurality of dividing blades; and at least one of the dividing blades among the front curtain and the rear curtain that is positioned on the photo lens side is formed from a black material having at least one uncoated surface.
