Exposure Flashcards
four variables of a good exposure
F.L.A.S. (H)
Shutter speed (1/sec)
Apertures (f/stops)
Film speed / digital ISO equivalents
Light (ambient or supplemental lighting)
proper exposure triangle
sides of the triangle
-f/stop (aperture)
-film speed (ISO)
-shutter speed
center of triangle
-light (ambient/flash)
Exposure
The product of the intensity of _light that reaches the film plane/digital sensor which is controlled by the lens aperture (diaphragm)_and the length of time which is controlled by the shutter speed
types of exposure
Properly exposed, underexposed, or overexposed
exposure that halves ligjht
-1
exposure that doubles light
+1
properly exposed
0
single lens reflex
- First the image viewed by the photographer through the viewfinder and the light striking the sensor both come from a single lens
- Second the light coming from the lens is reflected (reflex) by a series of mirrors to the viewfinder
type of camera that is not a SLR
point and shoot
identify components of camera
1.Lens elements (a series of prisms that allows rays of light to come to a point of convergence)
2.Mirror down
3.Shutter’
4.Sensor
5.Mirror up
6.Condenser lens
7.Pentaprism
8.Viewfinder
shutter typically can be found in ?
camera body
what is shutter speed?
amount of time the shutter is allowed to stay open
Shutter speeds may be indicated as whole numbers, but are really fractions. what are the shutter speeds?
1
2
4
8
15
30
60
125
250
500
1000
2000
Whole number by itself =
Whole number with “” =
1/60 is faster than ?
fraction ex: 15, 1/15
whole number ex: “15”, 15
1/15
what happens if you need longer shutter speeds?
B = bulb
Shutter remains_open____ until shutter button is _released______
Remote shutter release cable can be used instead of depressing shutter button
slower shutter speed (open for longer)
more light
