Shutter Curtain Edit
Most focal plane shutters are composed of two curtains: a front and a rear curtain. The front curtain slides open to begin the exposure, and then the rear curtain slides closed in the same direction to end the exposure.
9. The shutter curtain
Check if the shutter curtain open and close perfectly or not when the trigger button is pressed. Don't forget to cock the shutter before pressing the trigger button.

Early focal plane shutters designed from the 1930s onwards usually consisted of two curtains that travelled horizontally across the film gate: an opening shutter curtain followed by a closing shutter curtain.
The rest of the light is passing full time through to the shutter curtain. How much direct and focused exposure to the sun can the shutter curtain endure before warping or melting?
Maximum flash synchronization speed is determined by the moment the shutter curtains are completely open. This would typically be 1/125 or 1/60.
Open your camera back and look at the shutter curtain - the rectangular area in the centre of the camera with a series of black horizontal Venetian-blind-like shutter blades.
The light meter may read the light falling on the mirror, the shutter curtain, the focusing screen, or even on the film at the instant of exposure. On an automatic camera, the f/stop or shutter speed is adjusted automatically for correct exposures.
Visitors are cautioned not to touch these structures, which are apparently intended to evoke a shutter curtain mechanism. From here, one enters the first space that resembles a traditional gallery.
The value you choose for your shutter speed determines the length of time in which the shutter curtain is open.
Shutter curtain will open. Look to make sure there are no hair or dirt blocking the shutter. Do not touch the shutter curtain. If it needs cleaning, carefully brush off dirt taking caution not to damage the shutter.
With a normal flash, the strobe fires at the beginning of the shutter curtain movement, thereby freezing the action. Then the subject continues to move, throwing the blur in front of the strobe-lit subject.
A tripod is generally believed to prevent image blur, but camera shake can occur due to the movements of the quick-return mirror or shutter curtain, or winds.
When using flash, maximum shutter speed is limited by the camera to the fastest speed at which both shutter curtains are completely open at the same time.
Focal plane shutters rely on either a horizontal or vertical shutter curtain which lies directly in front of the film, at the plane of focus. Focal Plane Shutters are capable of very high speeds, in excess of 1/ 8000 th of a second.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-flash An automatic, balanced fill-flash system in which the flash fires a series of pre-flashes just before the first shutter curtain moves.
If the sync was adjusted correctly, these bulbs provided a relatively constant peak light output starting before the opening shutter curtain was released and continuing until after the closing shutter curtain completed its travel.
Fn III-17 enables 'Mirror lockup' mode, in this mode the first press of the shutter release locks the mirror up, the second press opens and closes the shutter curtain (and thus takes the shot).
The sync speed is the fastest speed at which the entire film or CCD can be open to light. This is determined by how fast the shutter curtains move.
Shutter speed at which the entire f iIm frame is exposed when the flash s fired in flash shooting. Most modern camera with vertical travel shutter curtain have faster flash sync speed like 1/250 sec.
