Photography Exposure Quiz

What is camera exposure?

• The color balance of a photo

• The overall brightness or darkness of a photo or video

• The sharpness of a photo

• The contrast level of a video

What makes up the exposure triangle?

• Aperture, white balance, and ISO

• Shutter speed, focus, and ISO

• Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

• Shutter speed, aperture, and white balance

What is a stop of light?

• A measure of color temperature

• Doubling or halving the amount of light in a photo or video

• The speed of the camera's shutter

• The size of the camera's sensor

How do you add or take away a stop of light?

• By changing the camera's focus

• By adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, and/or ISO

• By altering the white balance

• By modifying the camera's resolution

What is shutter speed?

• The speed at which the camera's sensor captures light

• The speed at which the shutter of a camera closes

• The speed of the camera's autofocus

• The speed of the camera's zoom

What is aperture?

• The camera's sensitivity to light

• The opening of a lens' diaphragm controlling the amount of light that is let into the camera

• The speed of the camera's shutter

• The camera's white balance setting

What is ISO?

• A camera's sensitivity to light

• The speed of the camera's shutter

• The opening of a lens' diaphragm

• The camera's color balance

How does shutter speed work? What is the difference between a slow and fast shutter speed?

• Shutter speed controls the amount of light let into the sensor; slow means more light, fast means less light.

• Shutter speed controls the focus of the camera; slow means less focus, fast means more focus.

• Shutter speed controls the color balance; slow means warmer colors, fast means cooler colors.

• Shutter speed controls the zoom level; slow means less zoom, fast means more zoom.

How is shutter speed measured? What are some examples of shutter speed settings?

• Shutter speed is measured in minutes; examples are 1/60, 1/120, and 1/240.

• Shutter speed is measured in seconds or fractions of seconds; examples are 1/250, 1/30, and 1/2.

• Shutter speed is measured in hours; examples are 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8.

• Shutter speed is measured in milliseconds; examples are 1/1000, 1/2000, and 1/4000.

What effects are achieved with a slow shutter speed? What type of shots benefit from slow shutter speeds?

• Slow shutter speed creates sharp images; great for sports photography.

• Slow shutter speed creates motion blur, light trails; great for low-light scenarios.

• Slow shutter speed enhances color saturation; great for landscape photography.

• Slow shutter speed increases depth of field; great for portrait photography.
