A photographer wants the background to be very blurry behind a sharp subject. Which change best creates shallow depth of field?
Use a smaller aperture (higher f-number)
Increase ISO to a very high value
Shorten the focal length dramatically
Use a larger aperture (lower f-number)
In Aperture Priority mode (A/Av), what does the camera automatically adjust after you set the f-stop to maintain proper exposure?
White balance of the image
Shutter speed for the exposure
Focal length of the lens
ISO value for the sensor
Which statement about ISO is most accurate?
Higher ISO reduces noise and needs more light
Lower ISO increases noise but works in bright light
Higher ISO adds blur and shortens focal length
Lower ISO reduces noise but needs more light
Exposure Value (EV) steps are designed so that each increment represents what change in light reaching the sensor?
One-third of the original light
No change if ISO stays constant
A tenfold change in light level
A doubling or halving of the light
Match each term to its best description.
Aperture priority (A/Av)
You set f-stop, camera sets shutter
Depth of Field (DOF)
Range that appears acceptably sharp
Focal length
Distance between lens center and sensor
F-stop / F-number
Scale indicating size of aperture
Select all settings that directly affect exposure by controlling the amount of light reaching the sensor.
ISO sensitivity value
Shutter speed duration
Focal length in millimetres
Aperture size (f-stop) setting
Which camera mode gives you full control over all settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO?
Manual mode on the dial marked M
Program mode with auto adjustments
Scene mode with presets for sports
Auto mode with full automation
Manual focus is best described as
Turning the lens ring to set focus precisely
Using face detection to lock onto people
Letting the camera detect the subject automatically
Zooming the lens until the subject looks sharp
Which statement about shutter speed and motion is most accurate?
Slow shutter speeds create motion blur of moving subjects
Fast shutter speeds increase blur in bright daylight
Fast shutter speeds only help in landscape shots
Slow shutter speeds freeze a millisecond of action
In photography, metering primarily refers to
Measuring scene light to set exposure
Choosing autofocus points on the sensor
Recording copyright text into the file
Calibrating the lens focal length value
Stops are units used to describe
Doubling or halving exposure changes
White balance temperature shifts
The speed of autofocus motors
The distance from lens to subject
Image metadata typically includes which kind of information?
Camera model and lens details
Exact shutter speed and aperture
Copyright and usage information
Raw sensor pixel locations
Match each term with its function.
Shutter
Device controlling exposure time
Shutter speed
Duration the sensor is exposed
Metering
Measuring light intensity in scene
Manual focus
User turns ring to set focus
Which scenario most requires a high shutter speed?
Bright static objects on a tripod
Blurring waterfalls for a silky effect
Freezing a sprinter at the finish line
Capturing star trails over a long night
What is the practical benefit of manual focus over autofocus in some situations?
Precise control for critical sharpness
Automatic tracking of moving pets
Removes the need to meter light
Faster operation in all lighting
A change of one stop in exposure means
Four times as much captured detail
Ten percent more light to sensor
Twice as much or half as much light
No change if ISO stays constant
