What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes Exposures that yield the same amount of light onto the sensor Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes None 12. 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?

To make comparative measurements of light reflecting off the subject from multiple directions To make comparative measurements of light coming from specific directions To measure the light reflecting off the subject To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously None 19. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? D. It over-exposes A. It is halved C. Stays the same B. It is doubled None 20. 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 Cumulative exposure Panning Hyperfocal distance None 21.

B. 1.4 - 2 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 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 D. 1.4 - 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 None 22. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To increase the depth of field To decrease the depth of field To allow less light to reach the sensor To use a slower shutter speed None 23. A light meter measures which of the following? Color temperature of a light source Density of light Quality of light Intensity of light None 24. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Color meter Reflective light Incident light Luminance meter None 25. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Cloud Sun Lightning bolt Light bulb None 26. Reflective hand-held meters measure light bouncing off the camera. falling on the subject. reflecting off the subject. falling on the camera. None 27. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To increase the depth of field To use a slower shutter speed To "blur" a moving objec To "freeze" a moving object None 28.
