2 types of camera shutters?
There are more than two, for sure. I know of the focal plane shutter (a pair of horizontally or vertically traveling blinds near the film plane), the leaf shutter (usually 1 to 3 blades contained within the lens that pivot to uncover the opening) and the diaphragm shutter (3 to 5 blades that pivot in such a way as to create a roughly circular opening much the same way as the aperture blades in a SLR lens). I believe the term "central shutter" is used to describe the position of what is usually a diaphragm shutter as opposed to being a type on it's own. The earliest and simplest shutter was, in fact, the lens cap itself. The two basic types of shutters are the Focal plane shutter and the Leaf shutter.
