Which of the following camera modes would provide a deep depth of field?
Landscape. A deep depth of field is a larger area in focus, as it keeps more of the image sharp and clear. It is sometimes referred to a large depth of field. Because it has a larger field of view in focus, deep depths of field are best for landscapes.
True or False. Shutter speed 1/50 is faster than shutter speed 1/100.
False.
True or False: The smaller the f-stop number, the smaller the lens opening.
False.
True or False. The ASA/ISO number refers to how sensitive the camera sensor is to light.
True
True or False. The depth of field method can be used to improve the composition of a picture.
True
Which of the following camera modes would provide a sharp focus on a close--‐up shot of a small object?
Macro
Which shutter speed setting will allow the least amount of light to pass to your camera?
1/400. The shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor.
True or False. On a lens with f-stops ranging from f-2.4 - f-22, at f-22 the lens is “wide open”.
False
What is the most important variable necessary for photography to be possible?
Light!
Why is important to have light in front of your subject instead of behind?
To avoid back-lighting, unless your are purposely photography silhouettes.
On a digital camera, what is Macro Mode?
A setting on a digital camera that enables users to focus on subjects close to the camera lens. Macro mode is commonly used to photographing flowers, insects and other small items that you want a close-up view of.
Which of the following shutter speeds require a tripod?
1", 1/4, and 1/30 of the choices available. If you're using a slow shutter speed (anything slower than 1/60) you will need to either use a tripod or some some type of image stabilization (more and more cameras are coming with this built in). Shutter speeds available to you on your camera will usually double (approximately) with each setting.
Of the f-stop listed, which aperture is the largest lens opening?
f-2.6. The f-stop is the "aperture" opening of a camera lens, which allows light to come in. It also determines how much is in focus in front of and behind the subject (see depth of field).
What are the three variables that create exposure?
Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
This camera concept relates to how sensitive the image sensor (CCD) is to the amount of light present. It also affects the graininess amount of the image.
In Digital Photography, ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain. ... By choosing a higher ISO you can use a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement.

Shutter Priority
The technique known as ______, holds a moving object in sharp focus while blurring the background.
Panning. Swiveling a still camera horizontally from a fixed position. This motion is similar to the motion of a person when they turn their head on their neck from left to right.
With your choices below, if you wanted to obtain a shallow depth of field, you should ______.
Use the f/1.2
What camera component controls the intensity of light?
The aperture or f-stop of a photographic lens can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or image sensor. In combination with variation of shutter speed, the aperture size will regulate the film's or image sensor's degree of exposure to light.
In composition (what makes up a photo), what would a photographer look for when "composing" a photograph?
Camera angle and framing. A photographer composes a photograph when they look through the view finder and decide what elements to keep. By adjusting camera angle and deciding on what is framing the subject, they are composing.
CA mode on the camera dial.
Creative Auto. (we didn't use this in class unless you tried it out on your own.)
True or False. Shutter speed 1/50 is faster than shutter speed 1/100.
False. The shutter speeds are representing a fraction of a second.
Which camera component is responsible for controlling a shallow depth of field?
The aperture on the lens.
What digital camera component records the image exposure?
the Charge-Coupled Device or CCD light sensor
To obtain a deep depth of field, you should ______.
Use the smallest aperture possible. High f-stop number means smaller opening, means larger depth of field. Foreground, middle-ground and background in focus.
