Removable shutter for a camera

摘要

The present invention is a camera system having a rigid camera frame to receive a removable shutter and serve as a releasable attachment point for the camera lens system and image receiving means. An adaptor and wedge have complementary contact points that allow constant alignment and orientation of the system components after removal and reattachment without recalibration or realignment. The camera system may be used in a photographic imaging system such as an airborne reconnaissance system.
