Q

Exposure

A

Refers to the total amount of light allowed to expose film or digital imaging sensor. It is controlled equally by f-stop, shutter speed, and film speed (ISO).

Q

Shutter speed

A

The amount of time the mechanical door (shutter) in a camera opens and closes to allow light to hit the film or digital-imaging sensor. Expressed as fractions of a second or as full seconds.

Q

Film speed/ ISO

A

a number that represents a film’s or digital imaging chip’s relative sensitivity to light. Lower number=less sensitive; higher number=more sensitive.

Q

Will 1/500 let in more or less light than 1/125?

A

less

17
Q

Will f2.8 let in more or less light than f5.6?

A

more

18
Q

What factors are needed for proper exposure

A

ISO (film speed), aperture (f-stop), shutter speed

19
Q

The relationship between the shutter speed and aperture is like a ______________________________

A

seesaw

20
Q

A higher aperture NUMBER lets LESS or MORE light into the lens?

A

less

21
Q

Regarding shutter speeds, 1/1000 is one of the fastest shutter speeds, and therefore lets the least light during exposure: true or false?

A

true

22
Q

A film speed of ISO 400 will allow how many more stops of light than ISO 200?

A

one

23
Q

Your camera has a built in light meter that measures what?

A

reflected light

24
Q

The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive the film is to light: true or false?

A

true

25
Q

The right combination of ISO (film speed), shutter speed, and aperture (f-stop) result in what?

A

proper exposure

26
Q

What determines how LONG light enters the camera lens and touches your film?

A

shutter speed

27
Q

What determines how MUCH light enters the camera lens to touch your film?

A

aperture (f-stop)

28
Q

Film with a higher ISO NUMBER is generally used for low-light situations because it is more sensitive to light, true or false?

A

true

29
Q

Which of the following shutter speeds would stop motion the best? 1/500th or 1/60th?

A

1/500th

30
Q

If your shutter speed is set at 1/250 second and the meter calls for an aperture of f11, what would the shutter speed be if you changed the aperture to f8?

A

1/500th of a second

31
Q

Depth of field refers to how much of a scene is in focus in front of and behind the focal point. If depth of field increases with higher aperture numbers (f-stops), which of the following f-stops will give you the greatest depth of field? f4 or f16?

A

f16

32
Q

Your shutter speed is set at 1/30th second and the meter calls for an aperture of f11, but you want to capture motion at 1/125th of a second. What would you aperture be to have a properly exposed photo?

A

f5.6

33
Q

Shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second require and tripod and may be used to blur motion. Which of the following shutter speeds do you need a tripod for? 1/125th or 1/30th?

A

1/30th
