Camera Basics & Settings

Which component of the exposure triangle primarily controls the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light?

• Aperture

• Shutter Speed

• ISO

• Exposure

Which of the following best describes the three pillars of photography?

• Composition, lighting, and equipment

• Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO

• Perspective, timing, and subject

• Contrast, saturation, and sharpness

What primarily determines the depth of field in a photograph?

• Shutter speed

• ISO sensitivity

• Lens focal length

• Aperture size

What is the term used to describe the blurred, out-of-focus areas in a photograph, often appearing as soft circles of light?

(a)  

In photography, what do lower f-stop numbers indicate?

• Narrow apertures

• Wide Aperture

• Fast Shutter

• Low ISO sensitivity

What does the "f" in f-stops stand for?

(a)  

How does a longer shutter speed affect motion in a photograph, particularly when capturing a moving subject?

• It freezes motion with sharp detail

• It blurs motion, creating a sense of speed or motion

• It increases depth of field

• It decreases the exposure time, resulting in darker images

when photographing a fast-moving subject in low light conditions, which shutter speed setting is most likely to freeze motion effectively while maintaining proper exposure?

• 1"

• 1/2" second

• 1/250 second

• 1/1000 second

What does the acronym "ISO" stand for in photography?

• International Shutter Operation

• Image Sensory Optimization

• International Standards Organization

• Instant Shutter Overload

What common side effect can occur when increasing the ISO setting in digital photography?

• Lens distortion

• Depth of field reduction

• Chromatic aberration

• Digital noise/grain
