Which three camera settings make up the exposure triangle?
Focus, white balance, zoom
ISO, aperture, shutter speed
ISO, histogram, depth of field
Contrast, tone, brightness
2. “Exposure” refers to:
The angle of the camera
The total amount of light captured by the sensor
The brightness of the photo
The color saturation level
A histogram that is heavily weighted to the left usually means:
The shadows have no detail
The photo is underexposed
The image has perfect exposure
The photo is too bright
A balanced histogram generally has:
Data spread evenly across the middle
Most data at the far left
Most data at the far right
One tall spike on either edge
Shutter speed controls:
The focal length of the lens
How long the camera’s shutter stays open
The camera's ISO setting
The color balance of the image
A fast shutter speed (1/1000 sec) is best for:
Capturing star trails
Enhancing low-light landscapes
Blurring backgrounds in portraits
Freezing motion in sports
To intentionally create motion blur, you should:
Use manual mode
Use a low ISO
Use a slower shutter speed like 1/30 sec
Use a faster shutter speed like 1/125 sec
Aperture controls: A. How long the shutter stays open B. The amount of light entering through the lens C. ISO sensitivity D. The histogram’s contrast
how long the shutter stays open
The camera's light sensitivity
The focal length of the lens
The amount of light entering through the lens
A wide aperture (f/2.8) produces:
Which f-stop lets in the least light?
ISO determines:
A high ISO (6400) will most likely:
D. Create sharp, clean photos
Which ISO is best for bright sunlight outdoors?
In Manual Mode, increasing shutter speed from 1/250 to 1/500 means:
The image will be darker
If a photo is underexposed, you can fix it by:
Using a larger aperture
Increasing ISO
You want both the foreground and background in focus for a landscape. Use:
Indoors with low light, what’s the first setting you might adjust to help exposure without flash?
Raise shutter speed
Increase ISO
Close aperture to f/22
When using a slower shutter speed, what visual effect are you most likely to see in your photo?
A histogram with most data bunched at the right means:
D. Overexposure
C. Real exposure
The ± exposure compensation button allows you to: A. Change ISO directly B. Adjust exposure without changing shutter or aperture manually
C. Reset the histogram D. Focus faster
A. Adjust exposure without changing shutter or aperture manually
B. Make images sharper or more grainy
When adjusting aperture from f/2.8 to f/8, what change will you notice in your photo?
The photo becomes darker with more of the scene in focus
During your ISO practice activity, you noticed grain at ISO 6400. Why?
A. The sensor was underexposed
The best way to evaluate exposure accuracy on your DSLR is:
B. Use the zoom button
D. Use the histogram display
Before shooting in bright daylight, the best exposure triangle starting point is: A. ISO 100, f/8, 1/250 sec B. ISO 1600, f/2.8, 1/30 sec C. ISO 800, f/4, 1/60 sec D. ISO 6400, f/11, 1/15 sec
ISO 100, f/8, 1/250 sec
ISO 3200, f/2, 1/500 sec
