A focal-plane shutter 105 includes a leading blade driving member 4 rotatably fitted onto a first shaft 1d and driven by a biasing force of a leading blade driving spring 8, a trailing blade driving member 5 rotatably fitted onto a second shaft 1e and driven by a biasing force of a trailing blade driving spring 9, a leading blade adjusting member 6 rotatably fitted onto the first shaft 1d and adjusting the biasing force of the leading blade driving spring 8, a trailing blade adjusting member 7 rotatably fitted onto the second shaft 1e and adjusting the biasing force of the trailing blade driving spring 9, and an upper base plate 3 including a first surface 3a and a second surface 3b that are thrust position limiters. An area of the first surface 3a is larger than that of the second surface 3b.
