A shutter system for a movie camera or the like for controlling the film exposure including a main shutter wheel rotatably mounted on main drive shaft driven by a first motor and at least one adjustable shutter wheel positioned adjacent to and coaxially rotating with the main shutter wheel, the adjustable shutter wheel being mounted on a secondary shaft independently driven by a second motor. Both the aperture (determined by the relative positions of the shutter wheels of the main shutter wheel and adjustable shutter wheel) and the shutter speed are set by a controller which regulates the speed of each of the motors.
