Q

-A light – tight box chambered to the aperture enclosed in a shutter at the opposite end
of which is the place where the sensitized material is located.
-A mechanical device that is used to form and record the rays of light (as reflected by
the object) on the film inside the light tight box.

Q

An adjustable mechanism that regulates the amount of light reaching the film
by varying the length of time. This is a control by which you can determine how long in
time the lens will remain open for light to be recorded on the film.

17
Q

This refers to camera accessories that is attached to the shutter release
of the camera and used in releasing and closing the shutter to prevent accidental
movement of the camera during the exposure period especially when longer exposure is
made.

A

Cable release

18
Q

This refers to flash bulbs or electric flash which synchronizes with the
opening and closing of shutter. This is very effective to augment the adverse lighting
condition of the object(s) being photographed.

A

Flash units

19
Q

This refers to a device used in determining the intensity of light that strike
the subject and affect the film inside the camera.

A

Light meter

20
Q

This refers to a transparent medium which transmits and absorbs different
wavelength of lights usually made of glass or gelatine material placed in front of the
camera lens

A

Filter

21
Q

These are finely etched prisms which break up the image; they are brought together
as you focus.

A

Micro prism type

22
Q

The type of focus is that the distances correspond to the distance from the camera to the subject

A

Scale bed type

23
Q

This refers to two prisms that splits the image in half as you focus both
halves re-joins to form a clear image.

A

Split image

24
Q

This refers to usually to compact a camera that is using a fixed
lens

A

Co incident image

25
Q

It is a matt glass. The whole of the image on this screen will
progressively become sharp.

A

Ground glass type

26
Q

the distance between the nearest object and farthest object that
appears to be focus when the lens is focus on infinity

A

Depth of field

27
Q

Three Factors that Affect Depth of Field

A

-Focal length of the lens
-distance from the camera to the object
-aperture setting

28
Q

this control is utilized by manipulating the ASA/ISO or DIN dial
of the camera. Basically, the shutter and the f/numbers are both
controlling the system of the rays of light that enters.

A

Film speed control

29
Q

overlapping circle patches of light representing each patch of
light on the subject

A

Circle of confusion

30
Q

this is the nearest distance at which a lens is focused with a
given particular diaphragm opening which will give the maximum depth of field.

A

Hyperfocal distance

31
Q

The view of the subject subtended by two lines emerging the corners
of the film extending to the center of the lens.

A

Angel of view

32
Q
  • a device that controls the quantity of light that passes through the lens.
    -It is an iris type mechanism, which shrinks or grows in order to let in less or more
    light.
A

Aperture

33
Q

Functions of the Aperture

A
  • as a controller of light
  • as a controller of DOF
34
Q

Aperture as a Controller of Light

A

• The smaller the lens opening (bigger f number), the lesser the light that will enter the
camera.
• The bigger the lens opening (smaller f number), the more light that will enter the
camera

35
Q

This refers to the time for which the shutter is held open during the
taking of a photograph to allow light to reach the film or imaging sensor (in a digital
camera).

A

Shutter speed

36
Q

Used to freeze motion

A

Fast shutter speed

37
Q

Used to emphasize motion

A

Slow shutter speed

38
Q

Kinds of Shutter

A

-those placed before the lens
- those placed behind the lens
-blade or between the lens shutter
- focal plane shutter

39
Q

Characteristics of subject that refers to beach, marine and snow scenes; landscapes and
mountains without prominent dark object in the foreground.

A

Brilliant

40
Q

Characteristics of subject that refers to people in marine, beach or snow scenes with
foreground objects.

A

Bright

41
Q

Characteristic of subject that refers to nearby people, gardens, houses and scenes not in shades
