Exploring Shutter Speed in Photography

What does shutter speed control in a camera?

• The color balance

• The zoom level

• The amount of light reaching the sensor

• The focus

How is shutter speed measured?

• In hours

• In seconds or fractions of seconds

• In milliseconds

• In minutes

What happens when the shutter stays open for a longer time?

• Less light is let in

• The exposure time is shorter

• More light is let in

• The image becomes darker

What effect does a shutter speed of 1/15 of a second have on moving subjects?

• It darkens the image

• It brightens the image

• It freezes the image

• It causes movements to blur

What is the result of using a faster shutter speed like 1/500 of a second?

• It causes movements to blur

• It freezes the image in place

• It darkens the image

• It brightens the image

Why is a tripod recommended when using a slower shutter speed?

• To adjust the focus

• To change the color balance

• To keep the camera as still as possible

• To zoom in on the subject

What should you do to avoid blurriness when using a slower shutter speed?

• Change the lens

• Adjust the focus

• Use a camera tripod

• Increase the ISO

What is the benefit of using a slower shutter speed in low light situations?

• It helps to capture more light

• It makes the image darker

• It reduces the exposure time

• It increases the zoom level

What can happen if too much light reaches the camera sensor?

• The photo might look overexposed and blurry

• The photo might look underexposed

• The photo might look too dark

• The photo might lose color
