The Shutter Speed
- C.
The Focal Length
- D.
ISO
- E.
Depth of Field
Correct Answer
A. Aperture size measured in F-StopsExplanation
The icon labeled #8 represents the control for aperture size measured in F-Stops. Aperture size refers to the opening of the camera lens that allows light to pass through. It is measured in F-Stops, which determine the amount of light that enters the camera and affects the depth of field in the resulting image. By adjusting the aperture size, photographers can control the amount of light and the depth of field in their photographs.Rate this question:

When you look through the viewfinder, you see the display shown to the right. Use this image to answer this question. The four-digit number labeled #7 is not a real number you would ever see on your camera; it is merely using the "8888" to represent a number that can have up to four (4) places. This number measures what?
- A.
Aperture size measured in F-Stops
- B.
The Shutter Speed
- C.
The Focal Length
- D.
ISO
- E.
Depth of Field
Correct Answer
B. The Shutter SpeedExplanation
The four-digit number labeled #7 is not a real number you would ever see on your camera; it is merely using the "8888" to represent a number that can have up to four (4) places. This suggests that the number is not a specific value, but rather a placeholder or variable. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the number is representing the Shutter Speed, which is a variable that can be adjusted on a camera.Rate this question:
