This guy removed a shutter from a DSLR so you can see how it works. I was disappointed that it was not operating electrically, especially since he had wires connected. I may have missed the electric demo since I was FF through it.

If it had operated electronically, you would not have been able to see how the curtain and shutter work together to provide a wide range of shutter speeds.

If you take away the electronics the shutter looks very similar
to the shutter on my Nikon FM2 from many years ago.
