Method of controlling mechanical shutter

摘要

There is provided a method of controlling a mechanical shutter that can ensure faster shutter speed by preventing a reduction of the shutter speed of the mechanical shutter caused by signal loss and physical loss caused by inertia. A method of controlling a mechanical shutter according to an aspect of the invention may include performing a row reset operation to remove image information remaining in an image sensor according to input of a trigger event generated by a user to acquire an image; transmitting a shutter close operation start signal for a mechanical shutter to the mechanical shutter before the row reset operation ends after a predetermined delay time from a time when the row reset operation starts; exposing the imager sensor right after the row reset operation ends; and fully closing the mechanical shutter.
