This mechanism inside the camera controls the amount of time that light is allowed through to the camera's sensor during an exposure.
What is "the Shutter"
100
This mechanism inside the lens is used to control the volume of light which reaches the camera's sensor during an exposure.
What is the Aperture.
100
All creative effects which rely on "depth-of-field" (or lack thereof) are governed by this camera setting.
What is the Aperture.
100
For shooting sharp images (no unwanted blur), this aspect of the lens helps us determine the slowest shutter speed which is safe to shoot "handheld."
What is the focal length (length of the lens).
200
This shutter speed would be adequately slow for panning a young child running past the camera to convey a feeling of movement in the picture.
What is a 1/30th of second.
200
This type of F-stop setting will help create a blurry background behind my subject.
What is a "Low F-number," or F/2.0, F2.8, etc.
200
While there may be several different combinations of ISO, aperture and shutter speed that result in a correct "quantitative" exposure. For this there is only one correct combination of the three.
What is "a creatively correct exposure"
200
This camera feature will help adjust my exposure if I'm shooting a brighter than average scene in either P, A or S mode, or if my subject is backlit.
What is exposure compensation (positive+)
300
This shutter speed would probably be the lowest adequate shutter speed for freezing the movement of a young child running at the playground.
What is a 1/250th of a second.
300
This type of F-stop setting will help me avoid an out-of-focus nose on a nearby portrait subject.
What is a medium "F-number," eg. F/5.6 or F/8.0
300
Changing one's _____________ is a great way to make small subjects like children and pets appear more dramatic in your composition.
What is "point-of-view"
300
While shooting pictures on a visit to Rome, I may find myself changing this corner of my exposure triangle each time I move from indoor to outdoor shooting situations and back again.
What is ISO.
400
To properly expose an extremely dark night sky or create a silky effect with moving water shots, I may need to use my camera's longest "programmed" exposure time of...
What is 30 seconds. (And I will certainly need a tripod!)
400
This type of aperture setting is necessary for obtaining sharpness in close up photos of macro subjects (eg. bugs, flowers, etc.)
What is "Extrememly small F-numbers" eg. F/36, F/22, F/16
400
This widely-known "principle" or "rule" demonstrates that placing your subject dead-center in your composition is perhaps not the most interesting way to compose a shot.
What is the "rule of thirds"
400
Though I really don't like to, it may be necessary to push this setting up rather high to obtain a correct exposure in dark situations (when a tripod is not available).
What is ISO
500
On a bright, sunny day, it may be difficult to shoot well exposed photos with an extremely wide aperture setting, unless my ISO is set very ________ and/or my shutter speed is set very ________
What is: low ISO & high shutter speed.
500
As I use wider and wider apertures settings (lower F numbers) and/or move closer and closer to my subject, I will need to be EXTREMELY careful with managing my...
