A shutter device includes a first light-blocking unit; a second
light-blocking unit; a supporting member; and a charging member. The
shutter device has a simple structure that does not require a designated
interlocking mechanism between the shutter device and an external unit,
and that allows the second light-blocking unit to be maintained in a
state where a shutter aperture portion is open without having to hold the
second light-blocking unit electrically. The supporting member is
protrudable into a movement path of the second light-blocking unit to
maintain the second light-blocking unit in a state where the shutter
aperture portion is open. The supporting member protrudes into or recedes
from the movement path of the second light-blocking unit in response to a
movement of the charging member, which is provided for charging the first
and second light-blocking units.
