Low contrast Underexposure Overexposure High contrast None 6. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured? Incident meter An ambient light meter Spot meter A flat disk meter None 7. 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 B. It is doubled C. Stays the same D. It over-exposes None 8. 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? 1/125 1/250 1/60 1/500 None 9. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Incident light Reflective light Color meter Luminance meter None 10. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Dome Flat disc Calibration disc PC cord None 11. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F11 @ 250 F8 @ 250 F8 @ 125 F11 @ 60 None 12. What are “equivalent exposures”? 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 Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes None 13. What are exposure meters designed to measure? highlights shadows medium gray luminescence None 14. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/15 F8 @ 1/8 F16 @ 1/8 None 15.

A. 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 16 - 22 - 32 C. 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 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 None 17. 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 Hyperfocal distance Panning Cumulative exposure Tilt-shifting None 18. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F5.6 @ 125 F8 @ 125 F11 @ 125 F16 @ 125 None 19. 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 20. Reflective hand-held meters measure light falling on the subject. falling on the camera. bouncing off the camera. reflecting off the subject. None 21. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? It is halved Stays the same It over-exposes It is doubled None 22. Your camera shows the histogram with the majority of the graph heavily weighted to the left. This could be an indication of Under-exposure A very bright scene Over-exposure A shutter speed that is too slow None 23. An incident light meter reads light reflected from the ambient source. reflected from a subject. falling on the dome of the meter. ratios. None 24. If you are trying to preserve detail in the bright area of your image you are most concerned with what part of the histogram Middle Right Bottom Left None 25. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light reflecting off the subject To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions None 26. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 1000 None 27. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. highlights shadows contrast pixels None 28. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? clothing skin tones spot meter 18% gray card None 29. A light meter measures which of the following?
