Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To decrease the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed To allow less light to reach the sensor To increase the depth of field None 8. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? highlights, shadows and mid tones contrast, color harmony and tonal range ISO, camera mode and shutter speed ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed None 9. What is the slowest shutter speed that you should use if you are hand-holding your camera? 1/125 with a 28mm lens 1/60 with a 150mm lens 1/250 with a 200mm lens 1/125 with a 50mm lens None 10.

A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. highlights pixels contrast shadows None 17. A light meter measures which of the following? Quality of light Color temperature of a light source Density of light Intensity of light None 18. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Light bulb Sun Cloud Lightning bolt None 19. An incident light meter reads light falling on the dome of the meter. reflected from the ambient source. reflected from a subject. ratios. None 20. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F8 @ 125 F11 @ 60 F11 @ 250 F8 @ 250 None 21. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Color meter Incident light Reflective light Luminance meter None 22. In order to achieve proper exposure, the gray card should be positioned in the background in the foreground at the subject position at the camera position None 23. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To measure the light reflecting off the subject None 24. If you are trying to preserve detail in the bright area of your image you are most concerned with what part of the histogram Bottom Right Middle Left None 25. 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 26. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To use a slower shutter speed To increase the depth of field To "blur" a moving objec To "freeze" a moving object None 27. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes None 28. An incident meter measures F8 with a subscipt number indicating 9/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F11 F8 F9.5 F9 None 29. Reflective hand-held meters measure light falling on the subject. reflecting off the subject. falling on the camera. bouncing off the camera. None 30. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 1000 None 31. 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?
