In photography, a shutter is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to the right amount of light to create a permanent image of a view.
Central shutters usually have a diaphragm-like mechanism which progressively dilate to a circular opening the size of the lens, then stay open as long as is required, and finally close.
Cinematography uses a rotary disc shutter in movie cameras, a continuously spinning disc which conceals the image with a reflex mirror during the intermittent motion between frame exposure.
