Abstract
A shutter device includes a shutter blade for opening and closing a shutter opening and a stop plate having a small stop of a shutter opening. While the small stop is disposed on the shutter opening, the shutter blade swings from a primary position responding to operation of shutter release. After the shutter blade leaves the shutter opening, a flashlight is emitted. Thereafter, the stop plate swings sequentially such that the shutter opening may entirely appear, and then the shutter blade swing back to the primary position with covering the small stop.
