![]() ![]() With DSLR and mirrorless camera technology development, camera shutters have improved over time – but their primary function remains. ![]() The leaf shutter is the same size and sits directly behind this element – effectively blocking the light passing through the lens. With a fixed lens, the rear lens element is relatively small. It can be as small as the rear element of the lens, such as in the image above. This way, the leaf shutter does not have to be a significant device to cover the whole image sensor. Each of the diaphragm blades of a leaf shutter opens from the centre out.Ī focal plane shutter is positioned up against and almost touching the sensor, while a leaf shutter sits forward from the sensor up against the lens’s rear. Once the shutter speed duration has lapsed, they snap shut to block any further light spilling in. When you press the camera’s shutter button, the blades open to allow light to pass through. Located in front of the camera sensor, a leaf shutter has overlapping metal blades that close so no light passes through to the sensor. The Fujifilm X100 series and X70 have leaf shutters.Ī leaf shutter is entirely different in build to a focal plane shutter, in that it’s a diaphragm that works much the same way as an aperture inside a lens.
