From what I understand - it is the UV which will affect the shutter - the
shutter won't 'burn' but the UV radiation will damage it. 

I do not know how much exposure is enough to damage a shutter, as the camera
& lenses I use date from the '50's I don't take a chance and have a UV
filter + use a lens cap (but some will argue against the UV filter, as I am
not as demanding as other Leica users, I don't see a major impact on my
photos). I have seen what UV has done to some of my kayaking & outdoor gear
& it is not pretty!
