F8 @ 250 F11 @ 250 F11 @ 60 F8 @ 125 None 11. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? contrast, color harmony and tonal range highlights, shadows and mid tones ISO, camera mode and shutter speed ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed None 12.

What would be the best f-stop setting? F6.7 F4.5 F8 F5.6 None 15. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? 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 To measure the light reflecting off the subject None 16. 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 It is doubled Stays the same It is halved None 17. 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 18. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured? An ambient light meter A flat disk meter Incident meter Spot meter None 19. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor None 20. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Lightning bolt Light bulb Cloud Sun None 21. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F5.6 @ 125 F11 @ 125 F16 @ 125 F8 @ 125 None 22. 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 23. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To use a slower shutter speed To decrease the depth of field To increase the depth of field To allow less light to reach the sensor None 24. An incident meter measures F8 with a subscipt number indicating 9/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F11 F9 F8 F9.5 None 25. What are exposure meters designed to measure? highlights shadows medium gray luminescence None 26. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F11 @ 1/30 F16 @ 1/8 F8 @ 1/15 F8 @ 1/8 None 27.
