Reflective hand-held meters measure light falling on the camera. bouncing off the camera. reflecting off the subject. falling on the subject. None 13. What are “equivalent exposures”? Exposures equal to the ISO 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 Exposures where the shutter speed stays the same and only the f-stop changes None 14. A histogram shows the brightness value of all the ___________ in an image. highlights contrast shadows pixels None 15. Determine the correct exposure at 100 ISO for a subject in full sun. F5.6 @ 125 F16 @ 125 F8 @ 125 F11 @ 125 None 16. 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 C. Stays the same D. It over-exposes B. It is doubled None 17. Which ISO value would likely introduce the most grain into an image? 1600 ISO 3200 ISO 6400 ISO 200 ISO None 18. Which line has the shutter speeds in the correct order? 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 1000 1 - 2 - 4 - 8 - 15 - 30 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 1 - 2 - 8 - 15 - 60 - 125 - 250 - 500 - 1000 None 19. 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 Panning Tilt-shifting Hyperfocal distance Cumulative exposure None 20. 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 Left Bottom None 21. What icon is used for setting an incident meter into flash mode? Lightning bolt Light bulb Cloud Sun None 22. 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? Overexposure High contrast Low contrast Underexposure None 23. 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 shutter speed that is too slow A very bright scene Over-exposure None 24. 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 25. What type of exposure meter is used inside a camera? Reflective light Color meter Incident light Luminance meter None 26. 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 27. 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 doubled It is halved None 28.

What can be used with a reflective meter to ensure proper exposure? skin tones clothing spot meter 18% gray card None 30.
