100

What are the three elements of exposure?

Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO

100

Controlled by the F#, typically used to blur or sharpen the background.

Depth of Field

100

This mode allows the camera to set all variables

Auto

100

This mode reads just 3-5% of the image to calculate exposure

Spot 

100

An average camera can reproduce this many stops of dynamic range

10-12

200

This element of exposure controls depth of field.

What is aperture.

200

Divides the scene into nine boxes

Rule of Thirds

200

This mode allows you to set a desired aperture

Av or aperture priority

200

This mode gives the whole scene equal weight

Average

200

This terms refers to the variance between highlights and shadows in the scene

Dynamic range

300

This element of exposure freezes action.

What is shutter speed.

300

Controls where the viewer's eyes focus in the scene

Leading Lines

300

This mode allows you to change all the settings

Manual mode

300

This mode gives the center mode weight than the rest of the scene

Center-weighted

300

This method is used to determine the relative brightness of subjects within a scene

Zone System

400

This element of exposure will not affect depth of field or subject movement.

What is ISO

400

Surrounding the subject with other objects in the scene

Framing

400

This mode would be best used for capturing a moving object

Shutter priority

400

This mode uses the camera's built-in intelligence to determine exposure

Evaluative / Matrix

400

A default camera exposure is based on creating an exposure for this zone.

Zone V

500

Changing the F# from F4 to F22 would do this to the exposure.

Decrease the exposure by 5 stops (F4,5.6,8,11,16,22)

500

Balancing the scene or using a pattern

Symmetry

500

This mode allows the user to override auto settings

Program or AE Mode

500

This would be the best mode for capturing a standard portrait

Center-weighted

500

A tool for viewing the relative highlights, midtones, and shadows created by your camera, with peaks, valleys and sometime clipping.
