Exposure Triangle

What does the shutter speed control?

• Objects in the distance

• The amount of the photograph that is in focus

• How fast the shutter opens and closes

• How fast the light is absorbed by the camera

What is the controlled by the f-stops?

• The length of time the shutter is open

• The size of the aperture opening

• Whether the flash is on or not

• The manual settings on the camera

The photographer changes the ISO to adjust for:

• The depth of field

• The ambient light

• To stop action

• The use of a flash

If the photographer wants to freeze action the first setting to adjust is:

• Shutter Speed

• f-stop/Aperture

• ISO

• Flash

Looking at the Cheatcard you were given, if a photograph has perfect exposure at ISO 200, using 1/500 SS and F8, how would you compensate for a change to a SS of 1/125?

• Use F11

• Use F4

• Change the ISO 100

• Use F16

Looking at the Cheatcard again, If the camera told you the light was perfect at ISO 800, using a SS of 1/60, and a F22 but you wanted to create a shorter depth of field so you move the aperture to F8--how would you compensate?

• Change the Shutter Speed to 1/8

• Change the Shutter Speed to 1/500

• Change the Shutter Speed to 1/30

• Change the Shutter Speed to 1/1000
