Basic Photography - Camera Settings

What is the purpose of the ISO setting on a camera?

• The ISO setting on a camera adjusts the sensor's sensitivity to light.

• The ISO setting on a camera determines the camera's shutter speed

• The ISO setting on a camera changes the lens aperture

• The ISO setting on a camera affects the camera's white balance

Explain the relationship between aperture and depth of field.

• A smaller aperture results in a shallower depth of field

• The relationship between aperture and depth of field is that a larger aperture (small f-number) results in a shallower depth of field, while a smaller aperture (large f-number) results in a deeper depth of field.

• A larger aperture results in a deeper depth of field

• Aperture has no impact on depth of field

How does changing the shutter speed affect the final image?

• Shutter speed has no impact on the final image

• Changing shutter speed only affects the color balance in the final image

• Increasing shutter speed decreases the resolution of the final image

• Shutter speed affects the exposure and motion blur in the final image.

Define what exposure triangle means in photography.

• In photography, exposure triangle means the balance between black and white, color saturation, and contrast.

• Exposure triangle is the term used for the connection between flash, tripod, and lens filter.

• The exposure triangle in photography refers to the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

• The exposure triangle refers to the relationship between lens cap, camera strap, and memory card.

What is the difference between shooting in manual mode versus automatic mode?

• The difference is that manual mode requires additional equipment, while automatic mode does not.

• Shooting in manual mode produces lower quality images compared to automatic mode.

• Manual mode is for amateurs, while automatic mode is for professionals.

• The main difference is the level of control over settings: manual mode gives full control to the photographer, while automatic mode lets the camera make decisions.

Why is it important to adjust white balance in photography?

• To increase the file size of the image

• To ensure accurate and natural colors in the image.

• To add noise to the image

• To make the image more blurry

Describe the concept of metering in photography.

• Metering in photography is the measurement of light in a scene to determine exposure settings.

• Metering in photography involves adding special effects to the image.

• Metering in photography refers to the type of film used in the camera.

• Metering in photography is the process of adjusting the focus of the camera lens.

What is the rule of thirds and how can it improve composition in photography?

• The rule of thirds is a compositional technique that divides an image into nine equal parts using two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. Placing key elements along these lines or at their intersections can improve the overall composition of a photograph.

• The rule of thirds is only applicable to landscape photography

• Placing key elements in the center of the frame is the best way to compose a photograph

• The rule of thirds is a technique that divides an image into four equal parts

Explain the significance of using RAW format over JPEG in photography.

• RAW format is worse quality than JPEG

• RAW format is preferred in photography for its higher quality and editing capabilities.

• RAW format cannot be edited

• JPEG is preferred for professional photography

How can adjusting the focus mode on a camera impact the sharpness of an image?

• The focus mode determines the exposure of the image, not the sharpness

• The focus mode determines where the camera lens focuses the light, affecting the sharpness of the image.

• Changing the focus mode only affects the color balance of the image

• Adjusting the focus mode has no impact on image sharpness
