Focal plane shutter
A shutter which lies just in front of the focal plane. Light sensitive film positioned at the focal plane is progressively exposed as the shutter blinds move across it.

Focal plane shutter
One of the two main types of shutter and used universally in 35mm SLR cameras, positioned behind the lens and in fact slightly in front of the focal plane; the shutter consists of either cloth or metal blades.
Focal Plane Shutter
A focal plane shutter exposes the image by moving two light-blocking curtains across the front of the image sensor.
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER - A camera shutter situated directly in front of the film, composed of an opaque curtain that contains a slit that moves directly across in front of the film, permitting light to strike the film.
[edit] Focal plane shutters
Almost all contemporary SLRs use a focal plane shutter located in front of the film plane, which prevents the light from reaching the film even if the lens is removed, ...
Focal plane shutters, found in all digital SLRs open one curtain to begin an exposure and close another curtain to end it (above, top). At high shutter speeds, there is a slit between the two curtains moving across the image sensor (above, bottom).
Focal plane shutters, like film SLRs and the latest digital cameras like the D200 and D2X and 5D, will only expose the entire image at the rated sync speed or slower.
It's OK to set slower speeds if you want the ambient room lighting included.
Focal plane shutters are built into Speed Graphics and other large format cameras occasionally available today.
A high speed flash for focal plane shutters is not new. It is about 50 years old (perhaps more).
An optional kind of electronic flash synchronization technique, originally associated with focal plane shutters, which consists of a traveling set of curtains, ...
The flash sync problem occurs because of the way focal plane shutters used in most SLR cameras are designed. Such shutters contain two travelling curtains which open briefly to expose the film or image sensor.
Most SLR cameras use a focal plane shutter. This mechanism is very simple -- it basically consists of two "curtains" between the lens and the film. Before you take a picture, the first curtain is closed, so the film won't be exposed to light.
Flash fires an instant before the second (rear) curtain of the focal plane shutter begins to move. When slow shutter speeds are used, this feature can create a blur effect from the ambient light, i.e.
Focal plane shutters comprise two opaque curtains. The first curtain blocks the light path. During exposure it moves out of the way to be followed by a second curtain which covers the exposed film or CCD.
The advantage of a leaf shutter over a Focal Plane Shutter is that a leaf shutter can Synch to flash lighting at any shutter speed.
Some are meant to have their speed adjusted only when their spring is cocked (which is often done by advancing the film with a focal plane shutter).
Two main types are between-the-lens shutter and focal plane shutter.
Single lens reflex (SLR): Camera which allow the user to see the exact image formed by the lens, by means of a hinged mirror between the lens and film.

Rear-Curtain Sync Sometimes called second curtain sync, it's a technique in which the flash fires an instant before the second (rear) curtain of the camera's focal plane shutter begins to move.
Since strobes discharge in the range of 1/7,000th second, and cameras with focal plane shutters typically synchronize at no greater than 1/250th second, slaved strobes make sense.
sync feature allows flash photography at any shutter speed, including faster than the typical maximum sync speed at 1/250 second. Under the FP Sync mode, the SB-800 will fire a number of flashes to cover the entire frame as the focal plane shutter ...
The device in the camera that opens and closes to let light from the scene strike the image sensor and expose the image. The three primary types used in digital photography are digital shutters, iris shutters and focal plane shutters.
a pentaprism or a pentamirror) that reflects the image that comes through the lens onto a focusing screen. From the mirror's reflection, the images then appears in the camera's eyepiece. The image only reaches the film after the focal plane shutter ...
Therefore the shutter speed is the length of time that the shutter opens to allow the light to come in CCD. The most common shutter types are between-the-lens diaphragm shutter and the focal plane shutter.
