If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? It over-exposes Stays the same It is halved It is doubled None 15. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F8 @ 125 F11 @ 250 F8 @ 250 F11 @ 60 None 16.

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 Tilt-shifting Panning Hyperfocal distance Cumulative exposure None 18. An incident light meter reads light ratios. reflected from the ambient source. reflected from a subject. falling on the dome of the meter. None 19. An incident meter measures F8 with a subscipt number indicating 9/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F9.5 F11 F9 F8 None 20. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. highlights pixels shadows contrast None 21. Which ISO value would likely introduce the most grain into an image? 3200 ISO 6400 ISO 1600 ISO 200 ISO None 22. Given F8 @ 1/125, what would the new shutter speed need to be if you moved the f-stop to F5.6? 1/250 1/500 1/30 1/60 None 23. 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? Underexposure High contrast Overexposure Low contrast None 24. 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 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 25. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To use a slower shutter speed To increase the depth of field To allow less light to reach the sensor To decrease the depth of field 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 "freeze" a moving object To increase the depth of field None 27. A light meter measures which of the following? Quality of light Density of light Intensity of light Color temperature of a light source None 28. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15.
