5. With a TLR camera, the image can be viewed during the exposure.

True

False

Page 20: "A twin-lens-reflex camera has two-lenses, one stacked on top of the other; you view and focus your subject with the top lens and expose film through the bottom lens." Therefore, you can still see out of the top lens while the bottom lens is exposing the film.

6. With a rangefinder camera, you know the lens is focused on your subject when the two images it forms are ________________.

From the caption on page 14: "When you turn the lens and superimpose the two images, the subject is in focus."

7. How is viewing through a TLR different from an SLR camera?

Nothing is different about viewing through a TLR or a SLR camera.

None of the above.

Page 20: "Unlike most camera types, TLRs don't offer eye-level viewing. Instead, you view your subject at waist or chest level, looking down at the focusing screen to view, compose, and focus your subject."

9. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the rangefinder camera?

The viewfinder is bright and always visible.

No reflex mirrors allow you to maintain sight of your subject at all times.

They don't have through-the-lens viewing.

Lack of a mirror makes it quiet and easy to hold steady when using slow shutter speeds

Page 14: "The biggest disadvantage of rangefinder camera is that they don't permit through-the-lens viewing."

10. What types of camera need parallax correction (due to parallax error)? (Chose 2)

Single-lens-reflex

Rangefinder

View Camera

Twin-lens-reflex

Page 15: "The lack of through-the-lens viewing also may lead to parallax error, the difference between what you see through the viewfinder and what the lens sees (and the film records)."

Page 21: "Since you don't see through the taking lens as you do with an SLR, TLRs must be parallax-corrected to allow the viewing lens to show what the taking lens records."
