What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Incident light Reflective light Luminance meter Color meter None 18. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? It is halved Stays the same It is doubled It over-exposes None 19. Which line has the f-stops in the correct order? 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 20. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed contrast, color harmony and tonal range highlights, shadows and mid tones ISO, camera mode and shutter speed None 21. What is the slowest shutter speed that you should use if you are hand-holding your camera? 1/125 with a 50mm lens 1/60 with a 150mm lens 1/250 with a 200mm lens 1/125 with a 28mm lens None 22. After exposure, a histogram shows pixels only towards the left side of the graph with the highest point at the extreme left. Which of the following would this histogram indicate? Low contrast High contrast Underexposure Overexposure None 23. If you are trying to preserve detail in the bright area of your image you are most concerned with what part of the histogram Right Bottom Middle Left None 24. In order to achieve proper exposure, the gray card should be positioned in the background at the camera position at the subject position in the foreground None 25. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? clothing skin tones spot meter 18% gray card None 26. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Flat disc Calibration disc Dome PC cord None 27. The technique for capturing relatively sharp images of a motorcycle rider by tracking the movement of the rider during a slow shutter speed exposure is known as Cumulative exposure Tilt-shifting Hyperfocal distance Panning None 28. Your camera shows the histogram with the majority of the graph heavily weighted to the left. This could be an indication of Over-exposure Under-exposure A very bright scene A shutter speed that is too slow None 29. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To allow less light to reach the sensor To decrease the depth of field To increase the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed None 30. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To "blur" a moving objec To "freeze" a moving object To increase the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed None 31. An incident meter measures F5.6 with a subscipt number indicating 5/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F6.7 F8 F5.6 F4.5 None 32.

Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes None 34. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F8 @ 1/15 F16 @ 1/8 F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/8 None Be sure to click Submit Quiz to see your results!
