A focal-plane shutter for digital still cameras includes a first blade and a second blade, each having a plurality of arms and at least one blade component pivotally supported thereby; a driving member for the first blade, opening an exposure aperture through the first blade; a driving member for the second blade, closing the exposure aperture through the second blade; a retaining means for the first blade and a retaining means for the second blade, retaining individual driving members at positions where the exposure operation is started, immediately before the exposure operation is started, and releasing their retaining forces at preset timing when the exposure operation is started; and a cocking member for actuating the driving member for the second blade when moved from the initial position to the cocked position thereof, and actuating the driving member for the first blade in photography. Consequently, the amount of operation of each of the first blade and the second blade is minimized and a small-sized focal-plane shutter can be constructed.
