    Which 2 areas does the Aperture affect?

    • The timer mode and the focus of the photo

    • How good the photo turn out and the shutter speed

    • Depth of field and the noise quality of the photo

    • The amount of light entering the camera & it affects the depth of field

    Correct Answer
    A. The amount of light entering the camera & it affects the depth of field
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the amount of light entering the camera & it affects the depth of field." The aperture refers to the opening in the camera lens that controls the amount of light that enters the camera. By adjusting the aperture, photographers can control the exposure of the photo. Additionally, the aperture also affects the depth of field, which refers to the range of distance in the photo that appears sharp and in focus. A larger aperture (smaller f-number) creates a shallow depth of field, while a smaller aperture (larger f-number) creates a deeper depth of field.

    Automatic Mode:

    • Ensuring your subject is the only thing that is in focus and is therefore the centre of attention in the shot

    • Freezes the action by increasing the shutter speed

    • Lets you move your closer into your subject to take a close up picture

    • Tells your camera to use it's best judgment to select the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot it can.

    Correct Answer
    A. Tells your camera to use it's best judgment to select the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot it can.
    Explanation
    Automatic mode allows the camera to make decisions on various settings such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus, and flash. By using its best judgment, the camera aims to capture the best possible shot, taking into account the lighting conditions, the subject, and other factors. This mode is ideal for beginners or situations where the photographer may not have the time or expertise to manually adjust the settings.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the effect of having a higher ISO number?

    • The photo becomes blurry

    • The photo develops grain/noise

    • The photo is more in focus

    • The photo lacks light

    Correct Answer
    A. The photo develops grain/noise
    Explanation
    A higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of the camera's image sensor, allowing it to capture more light in low-light situations. However, this also leads to an increase in digital noise or grain in the photo. Therefore, the correct answer is that the photo develops grain/noise.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Out of the ISO settings listed, which produces the finest grain?

    • 3200

    • 800

    • 100

    • 400

    Correct Answer
    A. 100
    Explanation
    ISO settings determine the sensitivity of the camera's image sensor to light. A lower ISO value, such as 100, produces finer grain because it requires more light to properly expose the image. This means that the sensor is less sensitive to light and therefore captures less noise or grain in the image. Higher ISO values, such as 3200 or 800, are more sensitive to light and therefore produce more grain in the image. So, out of the given ISO settings, 100 produces the finest grain.

    You're taking a picture of a Landscape. Which aperture would be best for getting all of it in focus. - ProProfs

    You're taking a picture of a Landscape. Which aperture would be best for getting all of it in focus.

    • F/16

    • F/2

    • F/1.5

    • F/8

    Correct Answer
    A. F/16
    Explanation
    A smaller aperture, such as F/16, would be best for getting all of the landscape in focus. This is because a smaller aperture increases the depth of field, meaning that more of the scene will be in focus from the foreground to the background. With a larger aperture, such as F/2 or F/1.5, the depth of field would be shallower, resulting in a narrower focus range and potentially causing parts of the landscape to be blurry. F/8 is a middle ground option, but F/16 would provide the greatest depth of field for a landscape photograph.

    Good Photography is basically the combination of getting the right composition and the right_________________.

    Correct Answer
    exposure
    Explanation
    Good photography is essentially a result of achieving the correct composition and exposure. Composition refers to the arrangement and placement of elements within the frame, while exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor. A well-exposed photograph ensures that the right amount of light is captured, resulting in accurate colors, details, and overall image quality. Without proper exposure, the image may be too dark or too bright, leading to loss of details and overall visual appeal. Therefore, both composition and exposure are crucial elements in creating a successful and visually pleasing photograph.

    • Cropping

    • Depth

    • Viewpoint

    • Balancing Elements

    Correct Answer
    A. Cropping
    Explanation
    This image best applies to the Cropping composition rule because it appears that the image has been intentionally cropped to focus on a specific subject or element. The composition is tightly framed, eliminating any unnecessary or distracting elements from the frame. This technique helps draw the viewer's attention to the main subject and creates a more visually appealing composition.

    What determines the depth of field?

    • Aperture

    • Aperture,focal length and shutter speed

    • Aperture and the total distance between you and the subject you are focused on

    • Aperture,focal length and the distance from your camera to the subject you are focusing on

    Correct Answer
    A. Aperture,focal length and the distance from your camera to the subject you are focusing on
    Explanation
    The depth of field is determined by the aperture, focal length, and the distance from the camera to the subject being focused on. The aperture refers to the size of the opening in the lens, with a larger aperture resulting in a shallower depth of field. The focal length of the lens also affects the depth of field, with longer focal lengths creating a shallower depth of field. Finally, the distance between the camera and the subject being focused on also plays a role, with a closer distance resulting in a shallower depth of field.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Out of the Aperture listed , which will give you the most light?

    • F/8

    • F/2.8

    • F/22

    • F/4

    Correct Answer
    A. F/2.8
    Explanation
    The aperture value determines the amount of light that enters the camera. A lower aperture value means a larger opening, allowing more light to pass through. In this case, F/2.8 has the lowest value among the listed options, indicating that it will let in the most light. Therefore, F/2.8 will give you the most light out of the given apertures.

    Film speed refers to:

    • How fast film moves through the film transport system

    • How long it takes to develop the film

    • How sensitive the film is to light

    Correct Answer
    A. How sensitive the film is to light
    Explanation
    Film speed refers to how sensitive the film is to light. Different films have different levels of sensitivity to light, which is measured by their ISO rating. A higher ISO rating indicates a more sensitive film that requires less light to properly expose the image. Conversely, a lower ISO rating indicates a less sensitive film that requires more light. The film speed is an important factor to consider when choosing a film for different lighting conditions and desired effects in photography.

    Which of the following are best suited for use in low-light Photography? - ProProfs

    Which of the following are best suited for use in low-light Photography?

    • Slow 1SO setting (e.g. 100 ISO)

    • Fast shutter speed

    • Wide Aperture

    • A good lens

    Correct Answer
    A. Wide Aperture
    Explanation
    A wide aperture is best suited for use in low-light photography because it allows more light to enter the camera, resulting in a brighter image. By opening up the aperture, the camera's sensor can capture more light, which is essential in low-light conditions where there is less available light. This helps to prevent underexposure and allows for faster shutter speeds, reducing the risk of motion blur. Additionally, a wide aperture also creates a shallow depth of field, which can be desirable for certain types of low-light photography, such as portraits or nightscapes.
