Canon applies for patent for an improved shutter assembly

This patent application deals with making shutter mechanical assemblies smaller and cheaper.

Even though the big news of the week from other sources were on global shutters in the sensors themselves, there's still room for improvement in our mechancial shutters for low cost devices.

Featuring some pretty complete mechancial specifications and breakout for those interested in how things tick, this may be a patent application for you.
