A camera comprising: an exposure aperture; a dual-blade shutter having a pair of shutter blades supported for opening movement about respective axes to uncover said exposure aperture and for closing movement about said axes to re-cover said exposure aperture, said shutter blades each having a slot, said slots overlapping; a shutter driver that projects into respective overlapping slots in said shutter blades and is supported for shutter opening movement to move said shutter blades open and for shutter closing movement to move said shutter blades closed, said shutter driver having a strike tab; a high impact striker movable against said strike tab on said shutter driver to initiate shutter opening movement of said shutter driver, then movable beyond said strike tab, and returnable past said strike tab to be reset; and a fixed post projecting into an elongate slot in said shutter driver to support said shutter driver for shutter opening and closing movement and to allow said high impact striker to shift said shutter driver out of the way of said high impact striker so that said high impact striker can be returned past said strike tab without causing said shutter blades to be moved open; wherein said shutter driver is rotated during shutter opening and closing movement and is translated to shift out of the way of said high impact striker.
