Abstract: Disclosed herein is an imaging device including an imaging element, an imaging controller, first and second shutter members, and a shutter controller. The imaging element carries out photoelectric conversion of subject image light incident through a lens and produces an imaging signal. The imaging controller controls readout of the imaging signal and carries out control of change setting of a frame cycle of imaging. The shutter members are disposed on an optical path of image light incident and can set a state in which incident light on the imaging element is blocked and a state in which incident light on the imaging element is not blocked. The shutter controller sets a timing at which the optical path is blocked by the first shutter member and a timing at which the optical path is blocked by the second shutter member.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a cine camera in which the exposure time is accurately maintained by detecting the time during which the film is actually exposed and, upon occurrence of a difference of this detected value from the set value, by varying the shutter open angle to compensate the exposure time.

Abstract: A cine camera having a rotary or reciprocating shutter driven by a motor is provided with a supplementary diaphragm which cooperates with the shutter during acceleration of the motor to its rated speed to reduce the effect on the first film frame or frames of the change in exposure time occurring during the acceleration period of the motor.
