Photography Flashcards
What factors work together to create exposure?
aperture
shutter speed
ISO (how sensitive to light)
Lighting
Image sharpness is dependent on the _____ of field, critical _______, and quality/maintenance of the ______.
depth
focusing
lens
Does a small or large aperture provide better image sharpness?
small
f/22 for intraoral images
What is the “F stop?”
a ratio between aperture diameter and lens focal length (a quantitative measure of lens speed)
“Depth of Field” is equivalent to the “Zone of _____ _____”
acceptable sharpness
True or False: A large aperture provides a more highly focused image.
False
Which has a larger aperture: f22 or f18?
f18 (small f stop = large opening)
Which has a smaller aperture: f4 or f1.6?
f4 (large f stop = small opening)
A smaller aperture provides less ________ away from the focal plane.
divergence
Less divergence from the focal plane provides a ________ depth of field.
greater
Which is better for intraoral images: f/5.6 or f/22?
f/22
True or False: Mirrors make the subject equidistant to the focal plane and make the aperture size less critical.
True (flattens image so that it is in better focus)
_______ depends on megapixels of the camera and on the lens focal length.
Magnification
True or False: Megapixels are not important because images can be cropped and zoomed.
False
True or False: If a photo is too dark or too light, it can be adjusted without losing detail.
True
Focal length is measured in _______.
millimeters
The _______ is the sense of depth or spatial relationships between objects in the photo, along with their dimensions with respect to the viewpoint (camera lens or the viewer).
perspective
What focal length do we use in clinic to minimize distortion?
one-to-one (1:1)
The wide angle lens is ______mm; whereas, the ________ lens is 500mm.
28
telephoto
Which is taken from farther away: wide angle or telephoto?
telephoto (duh…telescope)
True or False: the head position can mask the real jaw position.
True
Illumination is important for what three variables?
- color temperature
- shadows/highlights
- modeling effect
What kind of flash do we use in the clinics?
“Ring Flash”
