Variable shutter angle?

[Rivet]

I have noticed references to shutter angles in camera specifications and literature. I do not know what this is in reference too. Can somebody help me out on that question?

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for. This is an awsome forum. Thank you very much for the link in general, as well.

That was a great link, Will!

I kinda knew it (in theory that is ), but the illustrations there made it crystal-clear.
