Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 24 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - What does Shutter Mean In Photography?

Here is my answer

The shutter in a camera controls the amount of time the camera sensor is exposed to light. When you press the shutter release button the shutter raises and lets light into the sensor. You set the shutter speed which is the amount of time the shutter is open and the sensor is exposed to light.
