What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? Flat disc Dome PC cord Calibration disc None 16. What are “equivalent exposures”? 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 equal to the ISO Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes None 17. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Reflective light Luminance meter Color meter Incident light None 18. 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 halved Stays the same It is doubled None 19. What are exposure meters designed to measure? medium gray luminescence highlights shadows 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 Cumulative exposure Tilt-shifting Hyperfocal distance Panning None 21. What type of meter allows accurate reflective readings from a distance by isolating a tiny portion of a scene to be measured? A flat disk meter Incident meter Spot meter An ambient light meter None 22. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? ISO, camera mode and shutter speed ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed contrast, color harmony and tonal range highlights, shadows and mid tones None 23. An incident light meter reads light falling on the dome of the meter. reflected from a subject. ratios. reflected from the ambient source. None 24. 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 25. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To use a slower shutter speed To allow less light to reach the sensor To decrease the depth of field To increase the depth of field None 26. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. pixels shadows contrast highlights None 27. 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 28. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? 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 To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously None 29. 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?
