Camera Functions
A mechanism inside either the lens or camera body that opens and closes, allowing light to hit the film or Digital Imaging sensor.
What is Shutter?
This rule divides an image into nine equal parts by using two horizontal and two vertical lines.
What is the "Rule of Thirds"?
This principle involves the use of contrasting elements, such as light and dark, to create visual interest in a photograph.
What is "contrast"?
A three-legged metal stand that holds the camera mounted on a pivoting head.
What is a tripod?
This term refers to the amount of the scene in front of the lens that appears acceptably sharp in an image.
What is "depth of field"?
This setting on your camera allows you to adjust your depth of field in a photograph.
What is Aperture?
This type of composition creates a balanced and harmonious look by mirroring elements on either side of an axis.
What is "Symmetry"?
This principle of design refers to the arrangement of the visual elements in a composition to create stability.
What is balance?
Refers to the amount of light and the duration of time that light is allowed to expose film or a digital-imaging sensor.
What is exposure?
This term describes the soft, out-of-focus background effect created by using a wide aperture.
What is "bokeh"?
This feature can determine whether your subject is frozen and sharp or appears moving /blurred.
What is shutter speed?
When you have distracting objects in the back ground you should...
What is "move closer" or "Zoom in"
This principle draws attention to the most important part of the photograph by making it stand out from the rest.
What is "emphasis"?
This term refers to the visual quality of graininess or noise in a photograph, often caused by using a high ISO setting in low light conditions.
What is "image noise"?
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 are number that typically represent what setting?
What is ISO?
This technique involves using elements in the scene to surround the subject and draw attention to it.
What is "Framing"?
the relative size of objects within a frame
What is "proportion"?

What is panning?
This setting adjusts the color temperature of an image to ensure that whites appear white and colors are accurately represented.
What is "white balance"?
This mode on a camera allows the photographer to manually adjust both the aperture and shutter speed.
What is "Manual Mode"?

What is "unity"?
This photographic effect occurs when a subject is captured as a dark shape against a brighter background, emphasizing its outline rather than its details.
What are silhouettes?
This term refers to the combined effect of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings in determining the overall exposure of an image.
What is the "Exposure Triangle"?
