Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F11 @ 60 F11 @ 250 F8 @ 125 F8 @ 250 None 5. 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? High contrast Low contrast Overexposure Underexposure None 6. Reflective hand-held meters measure light falling on the subject. reflecting off the subject. falling on the camera. bouncing off the camera. None 7. A light meter measures which of the following? Intensity of light Quality of light Color temperature of a light source Density of light None 8. Your camera shows the histogram with the majority of the graph heavily weighted to the left. This could be an indication of A very bright scene Over-exposure A shutter speed that is too slow Under-exposure None 9. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Sun Lightning bolt Light bulb Cloud None 10. An incident light meter reads light ratios. reflected from the ambient source. falling on the dome of the meter. reflected from a subject. None 11. Which ISO value would likely introduce the most grain into an image? 3200 ISO 1600 ISO 6400 ISO 200 ISO None 12. What are “equivalent exposures”? 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 Exposures equal to the ISO Exposures where the f-stop stays the same and only the shutter speed changes None 13. Give an equivalent exposure to F11 @ 1/15. F11 @ 1/30 F8 @ 1/8 F16 @ 1/8 F8 @ 1/15 None 14. An incident meter measures F5.6 with a subscipt number indicating 5/10. What would be the best f-stop setting? F6.7 F5.6 F8 F4.5 None 15. What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? clothing skin tones spot meter 18% gray card None 16. Given F8 @ 1/125, what would the new shutter speed need to be if you moved the f-stop to F5.6? 1/500 1/60 1/30 1/250 None 17. What meter attachment is use for taking overall readings from multiple light sources? PC cord Flat disc Calibration disc Dome None 18. 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? 1/250 1/500 1/125 1/60 None 19. Why would you want to change the shutter speed from 1/60 to 1/250? To "freeze" a moving object To use a slower shutter speed To "blur" a moving objec To increase the depth of field None 20. What are exposure meters designed to measure? medium gray shadows highlights luminescence None 21. Why are flat diffusers used on a meter? To measure the light coming from multiple light sources simultaneously 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 None 22. 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 23. Why would you want to move the lens from F4 to F2.8? To decrease the depth of field To increase the depth of field To allow less light to reach the sensor To use a slower shutter speed None 24. What is the slowest shutter speed that you should use if you are hand-holding your camera? 1/250 with a 200mm lens 1/125 with a 28mm lens 1/125 with a 50mm lens 1/60 with a 150mm lens None 25. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F16 @ 125 F11 @ 125 F8 @ 125 F5.6 @ 125 None 26. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Incident light Color meter Reflective light Luminance meter None 27. 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 Left Right Bottom None 28. In order to achieve proper exposure, the gray card should be positioned in the background at the camera position in the foreground at the subject position None 29. 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 Hyperfocal distance Cumulative exposure Panning None 30. What three exposure elements does a light meter consider? highlights, shadows and mid tones contrast, color harmony and tonal range ISO, aperture setting and shutter speed ISO, camera mode and shutter speed None 31. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. highlights contrast shadows pixels None 32. 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 Incident meter A flat disk meter Spot meter None 33. If you move the f-stop from F5.6 to F8, what happens to the amount of light that reaches the sensor? Stays the same It over-exposes It is halved It is doubled None 34. An incident meter measures F8 with a subscipt number indicating 9/10. What would be the best f-stop setting?
