What are the three pillars of photography?
Shutter speed, ISO, and aperture
Exposure time, ISO, and aperture
Shutter speed, exposure time, and aperture
Shutter speed, ISO, and exposure time
What is shutter speed defined as?
The length of time the image sensor is exposed to incoming light
The time it takes for the mirror to flip up in a camera
The time it takes for the doors to move in a camera
The time it takes for the mirror to fall back into place in a camera
What happens when the shutter button is pressed in a standard DSLR camera?
A mirror flips up, allowing light to pass into the camera
A small door moves from top to bottom, exposing the sensor
Another door falls down, covering up the entire sensor
All of the above
How does the length of the shutter speed affect the amount of light entering the camera?
The longer the shutter is kept open, the more light enters the camera
The shorter the shutter speed, the more light enters the camera
The length of the shutter speed does not affect the amount of light
The amount of light entering the camera is determined by the aperture
What is the purpose of metering the scene in auto mode?
To determine an adequate shutter speed
To calculate the ISO and aperture
To prevent the picture from becoming over or underexposed
All of the above
How can you manually change the shutter speed in a camera?
By putting the camera in shutter priority mode
By putting the camera in full manual mode
By changing the ISO and aperture settings
By activating the bulb mode
How are shutter speeds measured?
In fractions of a second
In milliseconds
In seconds
In minutes
What does a shutter speed of 1/250 mean?
The shutter speed is 1/250th of a second
The shutter speed is 1/4 a second
The shutter speed is 1/100 of a second
The shutter speed is 1/1000th of a second
What is the maximum shutter speed most cameras can handle?
One four thousandth of a second
One eight thousandth of a second
One thirty second of a second
One minute
What is bulb mode used for?
To achieve longer shutter speeds
To freeze the action
To capture fast movement
To correct for minor shanks
What can shorter shutter speeds capture effectively?
Fast movement of wildlife and sports
Water droplets and small particles
Everyday photography
All of the above
What problem can longer shutter speeds cause when shooting handheld?
Blurring of the photo
Overexposure of the photo
Underexposure of the photo
No problem, longer shutter speeds are better
What is vibration reduction technology used for in lenses?
To correct for minor shanks
To freeze the action
To capture as much light as possible
To prevent blurring caused by shaky hands
What is the purpose of using longer shutter speeds in night photography?
To capture as much light as possible
To freeze the action
To achieve a time-warp effect
To correct for minor shanks
What can longer shutter speeds of twenty or thirty seconds be used to capture?
Pictures of the Milky Way
Fast movement of wildlife and sports
Water droplets and small particles
Everyday photography
