ISO controls the brightness of the picture and stands for International Standards Organization.
ISO controls lens focus speed and stands for Image Sensitivity Operation.
ISO controls shutter timing and stands for International Sensor Optimization.
You are photographing fireworks at night. Based on the ISO settings guidance, which ISO range is recommended for this situation, and what trade-off should you expect?
ISO 100–200 with minimal noise and very bright images.
ISO 200–400 with heavy noise and motion blur.
ISO 1600–3200 with more digital noise but suitable for night photos like fireworks.
ISO 3200+ with no digital noise and best for daylight shots.

1.8 on the dial
8.0 on the dial
18 on the dial
25 on the dial
Which control specifically adjusts how much light enters through the lens by widening or shrinking an opening?
Shutter speed
ISO
Aperture
Auto mode
Which camera setting should you primarily adjust to freeze fast motion while avoiding overexposure, and why?
Increase shutter speed because it shortens how long light enters the camera
Increase ISO because it widens the aperture to let in less light
Switch to Auto mode because it shrinks the sensor’s sensitivity
Open the aperture because shutter speed measures in fractions of an hour
Which statement best describes One-shot autofocus mode based on the provided description?
It continuously adjusts focus on moving subjects as long as the shutter button is held halfway.
It finds focus points when you press the shutter release and holds them until you finish pressing the button.
It automatically switches between manual and autofocus depending on light levels.
It defocuses the background by changing aperture settings only.
A student is photographing a soccer player running toward the camera. Which autofocus mode from the list is most appropriate and why?
One-shot, because it locks focus once and does not track movement.
AI Servo, because it keeps focusing on a subject even while it is moving.
AI Focus, because it disables movement detection to keep the subject sharp.
Manual focus, because the camera cannot detect motion in any AF mode.
Refer to the diagram of metering modes. Which definition best describes metering in a DSLR?
A process that measures different points of light to help decide aperture during auto-focus or semi-focus
A setting that only changes the lens focal length to zoom into the subject
A feature that automatically turns on the flash in low light without measuring the scene
A sensor that locks the shutter speed at a fixed value regardless of lighting
Look at the three modes shown in the diagram. Which situation is most appropriate for overall (matrix/multi-point/zone) metering?
Most photos such as landscapes or portraits where the camera uses the whole frame
When only about 2.5% of the center of the frame should determine exposure
When 75% of the light reading should come from the center area and 25% from the rest
When the camera must ignore the center and expose from the outer edges
A portrait subject is wearing light-colored clothes while the background is very dark. Which flash compensation choice best prevents the subject from looking too bright compared to the background?
+2 to add more flash
0 to keep default flash
-1 to reduce flash output
+1 to slightly increase flash
You are indoors using an external flash and notice harsh reflections on the subject’s face when standing close. Which technique is recommended to soften the light?
Aim the flash directly at the face
Rotate the flash behind the subject (backlight)
Turn off the flash and rely only on ISO
Bounce the flash by aiming it above the subject’s head
Why might photographers attach a flash diffuser to an external flash?
To make the flash brighter than natural light
To slow the shutter curtain for motion blur
To reduce overexposure from the flash
To disable the hot shoe connection
