Shutter of a camera.

How it's used
Borrowed directly from the English word shutter, this term is primarily used by older generations or those working in traditional photography settings. Younger speakers are much more likely to use the standard term 快門 instead. It is almost exclusively heard in spoken contexts rather than written manuals or professional technical guides.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English word stutter, as the pronunciation in Cantonese is specific to the mechanical part of a camera. Using this term in a modern digital photography context might make you sound like you are using outdated jargon.
