Abstract
A camera shutter of the type in which a shutter blade is initially displaced from an open position, in which a shutter opening is open, to a closed position, in which the shutter opening is closed, prior to the exposure-taking operation includes an actuating member displaceable in shutter-opening and shutter-closing directions to actuate the shutter blade in opening and closing directions. A drive motor effects displacement of the actuating member in the shutter-opening and shutter-closing directions, and a biasing spring biases the actuating member in the shutter-opening direction thereby preventing accidental closing of the shutter blade in the event impacts are applied to the camera. A detection switch detects when the shutter blade is in the open position, the switch being responsive to displacement of the actuating member in the shutter-opening direction to detect the open position of the shutter opening.
