What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? ISO, camera mode and shutter speed ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed highlights, shadows and mid tones contrast, color harmony and tonal range None 10. In order to achieve proper exposure, the gray card should be positioned in the foreground at the camera position at the subject position in the background None 11.

What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Calibration disc Dome PC cord Flat disc None 16. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? It is doubled It over-exposes It is halved Stays the same None 17. Which of the following shutter speeds would most likely be appropriate to get the sharpest images of an outdoor soccer game being played in full sun? 1/500 1/250 1/60 1/125 None 18. 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? Overexposure Low contrast High contrast Underexposure None 19. A light meter measures which of the following? Quality of light Color temperature of a light source Density of light Intensity of light None 20. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Color meter Incident light Reflective light Luminance meter None 21. What are exposure meters designed to measure? luminescence highlights medium gray shadows None 22. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To decrease the depth of field To increase the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed To allow less light to reach the sensor None 23. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? spot meter skin tones clothing 18% gray card None 24. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F8 @ 125 F8 @ 250 F11 @ 60 F11 @ 250 None 25. 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 Left Middle Bottom None 26. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To use a slower shutter speed To "blur" a moving objec To increase the depth of field To "freeze" a moving object None 27. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. shadows pixels highlights contrast 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 A very bright scene A shutter speed that is too slow Under-exposure None 29. Which ISO value would likely introduce the most grain into an image? 1600 ISO 200 ISO 6400 ISO 3200 ISO None 30. Which line has the f-stops in the correct order? 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 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 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 31.
