Abstract
A focal-plane shutter capable of stabilizing a curtain in continuous photographing action for suppression of variation in light exposure period is provided. The focal-plane shutter includes a base plate having a first opening, a blade receiving plate so arranged as to face the base plate and having a second opening formed in a position corresponding to the first opening, and a rear curtain that is arranged between the base plate and the blade receiving plate and moves between an open position where the first opening and the second opening are open and a closed position where the first opening and the second opening are closed to open and close the first opening and the second opening. The blade receiving plate has a protruding section in a position where the blade receiving plate overlaps with the rear curtain located in the open position when viewed along the optical axis direction, and the protruding section so protrudes toward the rear curtain as to allow the rear curtain to come into contact with the protruding section.
