ABSTRACT:
A support structure of a focal plane shutter in a camera reduces the effects of impacts or vibrations accompanying opening and closing movements of a shutter such that the impacts or vibrations do not reach a camera body. The support structure includes a shutter baseplate which is mounted and floats with respect to the camera body. The shutter baseplate supports a number of light barrier members which move in a travel direction to expose photographic film. The shutter baseplate is movable in the travel direction by a pair of retaining members. The position of the shutter baseplate is set by a position setting member which is fixed to the shutter baseplate and is retained by a vibration absorbing member disposed in the camera body. Buffer members are disposed between upper and lower ends of the shutter baseplate and the camera body such that impacts or vibrations which accompany the opening and closing operation of the shutter do not reach the camera body via the shutter baseplate.
