Abstract: An exposure control mechanism for use with chemical flash illumination includes a shutter having a primary shutter blade mounted for pivotal movement between a rest position wherein the shutter blade covers an exposure aperture, through an intermediate position wherein the shutter blade uncovers the exposure aperture, and a rebound position. A spring urges the shutter blade toward the rest position. A shutter driver drives the primary shutter blade from the rest position to the rebound position, and a flash firing mechanism synchronized with the shutter driver ignites a chemical flashlamp substantially simultaneously with the start of movement of the primary shutter blade.
