shutter
Camera's light gate
A shutter is a hinged panel that covers a window, used for privacy, light control, or protection from weather: Close the shutters before the storm.
In photography, the shutter is the mechanism that opens briefly to expose film or a sensor to light.
To shutter a business or building is to close it, often permanently: The company shuttered three factories last year.
