To measure the light reflecting off the subject To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously None 19. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F8 @ 1/15 F16 @ 1/8 F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/8 None 20. What are exposure meters designed to measure? highlights medium gray shadows luminescence None 21. If you are trying to preserve detail in the bright area of your image you are most concerned with what part of the histogram Left Right Middle Bottom None 22. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To increase the depth of field To allow less light to reach the sensor To use a slower shutter speed To decrease the depth of field None 23. 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 24. An incident light meter reads light falling on the dome of the meter. reflected from a subject. reflected from the ambient source. ratios. None 25. Given F8 @ 1/125, what would the new shutter speed need to be if you moved the f-stop to F5.6? 1/250 1/500 1/30 1/60 None 26. 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 A very bright scene Under-exposure Over-exposure None 27. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Calibration disc PC cord Dome Flat disc None 28. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Sun Lightning bolt Light bulb Cloud None 29. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 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 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 None 30. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor None 31.
