Influence of image motion on image quality, repre-
sented by the modulation transfer functions (MTF)
of lens, film and image motion
1 AWAM lens (AWAM = Area Weighted Average
Modulation transfer)
2 MTF film
3 MTF lens + film
4-6 MTF image motion
4 for e° = 10 um
5 for &e' - 20 pum
6 for Ae' = 40
7 resultant MTF for lens + film + image motion

a) Image blur owing to forward motion represented
by the shift of intensity distribution at an
edge
1 Intensity distribution in case of static
exposure
2 Intensity distribution in case of forward
motion by the amount ZAe' on exposure with
an ideal shutter (1005 efficiency)
3 Intensity distribution of the really
imaged, blurred edge on exposure with a common
shutter (efficiency about 70%)
b) Efficiency of a common between-lens shutter
