Thread: nikon D80 shutter??[please help]?

Hi I just recently bought a nikonD80 and 3 lenses for it. This is my first dslr and i was wondering what is the shutter and how do you work it?

The focal plane shutter is inside the camera. It opens to let light to the sensor for the predetermined time you have set. In manual mode, shutter priority, and flexible program mode you can set the shutter to the speed you desire from bulb to a small fraction of a second ( 1/4000 in your camera) . You activate the shutter by depressing the button you take photos with. Its called the shutter release. The click you hear is the shutter moving
