1

Q

what is the effect of a faster shutter speed

Q

explain the effect of a longer shutter length on motion

A

the more a moving subject will be blurred, also you are more likely to cause blur by moving the camera slightly.

Q

explain the effect of a short shutter length on motion

A

fast shutter speed opens and closes quickly so a moving subject doesn’t move very far during the exposure

Q

what is the backdoor method to attaining fastest shutter speed

A
  • use aperture priority mode
  • select widest available aperture
  • if the speed still doesn’t seem fast enough, increase the ISO setting.

16
Q

how do you blur your subject

A

-hold the camera steady and snap a picture as the subject passes by.

17
Q

how do you create an impressionistic look

A

-pan the camera at a faster or slower shutter speed the the moving subject

18
Q

what does ISO sensitivity do

A

governs the sensors response to greater or lesser amounts of light.

19
Q

at higher ISO settings, (more/less) light is needed to capture an acceptable image

20
Q

when are lower ISO settings useful

A
  • in bright conditions

- when you want to use wide apertures/slow shutter speeds

21
Q

what does auto ISO do

A

sets ISO automatically by default

22
Q

what modes terminate auto ISO

A

P, S, A or M modes

23
Q

do natural and artificial light sources have the same colour

A

no, they can vary in colour

24
Q

what is DOF

A

is the zone -extending both before and behind the point o f focus-in which objects appear to be sharp

25
list the three main factors that affect DOF
- the focal length of lens - aperture - the distance to the subject
26
whats the simple rule of DOF
small aperture=big DOF | big aperture=small DOF
27
what is apparent sharpness
refers to the objects appearing to be sharp, how sharp the image appears
28
what is hyperfocal distance
the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects sharp
29
what is the "one third" focus rule
is to focus one third of the way into the photo
30
a higher ISO reacts (quickly/slowly) to light
quickly
31
a lower ISO is (quicker/slower) to react to light
slower
32
what kind of tones does incandescent and incandescent white have and how does the camera compensate these tones
has yellow, camera adds blue
33
what kind of tones does fluorescent have and how does the camera compensate these tones
has green, camera adds red
34
what kind of tones does direct sunlight have and how does the camera compensate these tones
has blue, camera adds warm yellow
35
what kind of tones does flash-white have and how does the camera compensate these tones
has blue, camera adds warm yellow
36
what kind of tones does cloudy-white have and how does the camera compensate these tones
has a little more blue, camera adds warm yellow
37
what kind of tones does shade-white have and how does the camera compensate these tones
bluer than cloudy, camera will add more warm yellow
