PPA's Module 4 Practice Test Welcome to your PPA's Module 4 Practice Test practice test. Name Email 1. Your camera shows the histogram with the majority of the graph heavily weighted to the left. This could be an indication of A shutter speed that is too slow Over-exposure Under-exposure A very bright scene None 2. What are “equivalent exposures”? 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 equal to the ISO Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes None 3.

Cloud Lightning bolt Sun Light bulb None 10. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? highlights, shadows and mid tones ISO, camera mode and shutter speed contrast, color harmony and tonal range ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed None 11. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To "freeze" a moving object To use a slower shutter speed To increase the depth of field To "blur" a moving objec None 12. What are exposure meters designed to measure? shadows medium gray luminescence highlights None 13. Reflective hand-held meters measure light falling on the camera. reflecting off the subject. falling on the subject. bouncing off the camera. None 14. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Flat disc PC cord Calibration disc Dome None 15. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? A. It is halved D. It over-exposes B. It is doubled C. Stays the same None 16. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. shadows contrast pixels highlights None 17. In order to achieve proper exposure, the gray card should be positioned at the subject position in the background at the camera position in the foreground 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 High contrast Low contrast Underexposure None 19. An incident light meter reads light ratios. reflected from the ambient source. reflected from a subject. falling on the dome of the meter. None 20. 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 21. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F8 @ 125 F16 @ 125 F5.6 @ 125 F11 @ 125 None 22. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 None 23. 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 Stays the same It is halved It over-exposes None 24. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured? Spot meter A flat disk meter An ambient light meter Incident meter None 25. Given F8 @ 1/125, what would the new shutter speed need to be if you moved the f-stop to F5.6? 1/30 1/500 1/250 1/60 None 26. 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 Panning Tilt-shifting Cumulative exposure Hyperfocal distance None 27. A light meter measures which of the following? Intensity of light Density of light Quality of light Color temperature of a light source None 28. What is the slowest shutter speed that you should use if you are hand-holding your camera? 1/125 with a 50mm lens 1/125 with a 28mm lens 1/250 with a 200mm lens 1/60 with a 150mm lens 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. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F11 @ 250 F8 @ 250 F8 @ 125 F11 @ 60 None 31. Which line has the f-stops in the correct order?
