A shutter unit includes a base plate having an opening, a first blade member movable between a closed state and a retracted state, a first driving member biased by a first biasing member, a second driving member biased by a second biasing member, a first charging member configured to cause the first driving member to move in the second direction against a biasing force, a second charging member configured to cause the second driving member to move in the first direction against a biasing force, and a motor configured to supply a driving force to the first and second charging members. In a case where the first charging member causes the first driving member to move, the motor rotates in a direction opposite to a rotation direction in a case where the second charging member causes the second driving member to move.
