Multiple Choice

Which of the following technical terms in photography is most closely related to the amount of light entering the camera?

• ISO

• Aperture (f-stop)

• Shutter Speed

• White Balance

Multiple Choice

Which three camera settings make up the exposure triangle and must work together to achieve proper exposure?

• Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO

• Aperture, White Balance, Focus

• Shutter Speed, ISO, Flash

• ISO, Focus, Zoom

Open Ended

How are the exposure triangle elements (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) represented on a camera's display?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following f-stop values would result in the brightest picture?

• f/1.4

• f/5.6

• f/8.0

• f/18

Multiple Choice

What is the relationship between aperture size and depth of field in photography?

• A larger aperture results in a smaller depth of field.

• A smaller aperture results in a smaller depth of field.

• A larger aperture results in a larger depth of field.

• Aperture size does not affect depth of field.

Open Ended

Compare the effects of using a small aperture versus a large aperture on the focus of an image, using the examples shown in the pictures.

Multiple Choice

Which camera setting is primarily responsible for creating a blurred background effect, as seen in the image with the flower?

• Aperture (f-stop)

• ISO

• Shutter speed

• White balance

Multiple Choice

Which of the following settings would you use to get everyone in a group photo in focus?

• Lower f-stop (e.g., 1.8)

• Higher f-stop (e.g., 5.6)

• Increase ISO

• Decrease shutter speed

Open Ended

Compare the depth of field in the images of the flower (slide 1) and the group of cheerleaders (slide 3). What changes in camera settings contribute to the difference in focus between these two images?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about shutter speed is correct?

• Slow shutter speeds are used to freeze motion.

• Fast shutter speeds allow more light into the camera sensor.

• Slow shutter speeds are used for low-light and night photography.

• Fast shutter speeds are used for blurry effects.

Multiple Choice

What effect does setting the shutter speed too slow have on moving subjects, as shown in the image of the cheerleader and runner?

• It freezes the motion.

• It causes motion blur.

• It increases the depth of field.

• It darkens the image.

Multiple Choice

What is the main advantage of using a fast shutter speed like 1/500 when photographing moving subjects?

• It increases the brightness of the image

• It freezes motion and reduces blur

• It creates intentional motion blur

• It increases the depth of field

Open Ended

Compare the effects of shutter speed on motion in the images of the soccer game (Image 0) and the waterfall (Image 1). How does shutter speed affect the appearance of movement in each image?

Open Ended

What issues might using a slow shutter speed present?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about ISO is correct?

• A lower ISO number increases image noise

• A higher ISO number decreases sensitivity to light

• Increasing ISO can make images brighter but also noisier

• ISO only affects the color of the image

Multiple Choice

Which of the following camera settings is most likely to result in a 'noisy' image?

• ISO 100

• ISO 200

• ISO 800

• ISO 1600

Multiple Choice

If you increase your ISO and decrease your aperture but still get a dark image, what is the best option to use according to the image?

• Increase shutter speed

• Use a flash

• Change white balance

• Lower ISO

Open Ended

Describe how different white balance settings can affect the color temperature of an image. Use at least two settings from the list provided.

Multiple Select

Which of the following white balance settings generally adds warm tones to your photos?
