What is a "shutter"?
A shutter is a type of window treatment that is installed on the inside or outside of a window and is designed to control the amount of light and air that enters a room. Shutters typically consist of a frame that surrounds a series of horizontal or vertical slats, which can be adjusted to allow more or less light and air to enter. They are available in a variety of materials, including wood, vinyl, and composite materials, and can be customized to fit any window size or shape. Shutters can be operated manually, or with a motorized system, and are often used for both decorative and functional purposes. They can provide privacy, insulation, and noise reduction, while also enhancing the curb appeal and value of a home.

What is a "shutter"?
A shutter is a mechanism in a camera that controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor or film. It opens and closes to allow light in for a specific duration, known as the shutter speed. This timing determines how long the camera's sensor or film is exposed to light, affecting the exposure and clarity of the image. A shutter's speed and function help capture moving subjects, control brightness, and influence the overall look of the photograph.
