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 Middle Right Bottom None 10. Which ISO value would likely introduce the most grain into an image? 1600 ISO 6400 ISO 3200 ISO 200 ISO None 11. 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 A very bright scene Under-exposure None 12. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To measure the light reflecting off the subject To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions None 13. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor 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 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 C. Stays the same B. It is doubled None 16. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 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 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 None 17. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Lightning bolt Light bulb Sun Cloud None 18. 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 Hyperfocal distance Cumulative exposure None 19. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Reflective light Color meter Luminance meter Incident light None 20. An incident meter measures F5.6 with a subscipt number indicating 5/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F6.7 F4.5 F8 F5.6 None 21. A light meter measures which of the following? Intensity of light Quality of light Density of light Color temperature of a light source None 22. 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? 1/60 1/125 1/500 1/250 None 23. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? highlights, shadows and mid tones ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed ISO, camera mode and shutter speed contrast, color harmony and tonal range None 24. Which line has the f-stops in the correct order? B. 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 D. 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 C. 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 A. 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 25. What is the slowest shutter speed that you should use if you are hand-holding your camera? 1/250 with a 200mm lens 1/60 with a 150mm lens 1/125 with a 28mm lens 1/125 with a 50mm lens None 26. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/15 F16 @ 1/8 F8 @ 1/8 None 27. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To increase the depth of field To "blur" a moving objec To "freeze" a moving object To use a slower shutter speed None 28. Given F8 @ 1/125, what would the new shutter speed need to be if you moved the f-stop to F5.6? 1/250 1/60 1/30 1/500 None 29. An incident light meter reads light reflected from a subject. reflected from the ambient source. falling on the dome of the meter. ratios. None 30. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. contrast shadows highlights pixels 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? Low contrast Underexposure High contrast Overexposure None 32. 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 decrease the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed None 33. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? spot meter clothing 18% gray card skin tones None 34. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured?
