Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 20mins
What does DOF stand for?
Degree of Focus
Duration of Focus
Depth of Field
Direction of Focus
What happens to objects out of the DOF range?
They move closer to the lens
They begin to lose focus
They change color
They appear larger
What is a shallow depth of field?
When the focus range is several yards to infinity
When the focus range is very narrow
When all objects are in focus
When no objects are in focus
What does a small f/number indicate?
Less light entering the lens
A narrower aperture size
A larger aperture size
A deeper depth of field
What is the effect of a large f/number on depth of field?
It has no effect on depth of field
It creates a shallower depth of field
It decreases the amount of light entering the lens
It creates a deeper depth of field
What is the Sunny 16 Rule?
A rule for night photography
A rule for setting the shutter speed
A rule for setting the aperture at f/16 in bright daylight
A rule for setting the ISO
How does distance from the lens affect DOF?
Closer objects have a deeper DOF
Distance has no effect on DOF
Farther objects have a shallower DOF
Closer objects have a shallower DOF
What does changing the focal length do to DOF?
Longer lenses provide greater DOF
Shorter lenses provide shallower DOF
Longer lenses provide shallower DOF
It has no effect
What is the relationship between aperture size and shutter speed for exposure?
Larger apertures always require slower shutter speeds
Change one stop in aperture requires an opposite change in shutter speed
Changing one does not require adjusting the other
They are unrelated
What is the primary way to manipulate DOF without affecting composition?
Changing the focal length
Manipulating the aperture
Moving closer to the subject
Changing the ISO
What does a wider aperture result in?
A deeper depth of field
A shallower depth of field
No change in depth of field
Darker images
What is the effect of aperture on light entering the lens?
Aperture size has no effect on light
Larger apertures allow less light
Larger apertures allow more light
Smaller apertures allow more light
How is the aperture size measured?
In millimeters
In meters
In f-stops
In degrees
What does a change in distance from the subject directly affect?
The shutter speed
The ISO sensitivity
The color balance
The depth of field
Why is manipulating the aperture ideal for changing DOF?
It does not affect the composition
It allows for faster shutter speeds
It changes the color of the image
It requires changing the lens
What is the definition of aperture?
The definition of aperture is the distance between the camera and the subject.
The definition of aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls the amount of light entering the camera.
The definition of aperture is the size of the camera sensor.
The definition of aperture is the speed at which the camera captures an image.
Which mode allows manual adjustment of aperture values?
Aperture priority mode
Shutter priority mode
Program mode
Auto mode
This image is an example of
shallow depth of field
out of focus image
deep depth of field
This photo is an example of
deep depth of field
a high f-stop (such as an f18)
a deep depth of field AND a high f-stop
none of these answers are correct
This photographer wanted to create emphasis on the subject. To do this, he or she used a _______ aperture setting to blur our the background and focus on the flower.
large
small
medium
transparent
