    A. True
    Explanation
    Proper focusing is indeed required for sharp pictures. This means that the camera lens needs to be adjusted to ensure that the subject of the photograph is in clear focus. If the focus is not set correctly, the resulting image may appear blurry or out of focus. Therefore, the statement "Proper focusing is required for sharp pictures" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    The distance between the nearest and farthest object in a scene that appears in acceptability sharp focus is the _____ _____ _____ .

    • A.

      Focus ring control

    • B.

      Zoom ring control

    • C.

      Camera shake control

    • D.

      Depth of field

    Correct Answer
    D. Depth of field
    Explanation
    The distance between the nearest and farthest object in a scene that appears in acceptable sharp focus is referred to as the depth of field. This term is commonly used in photography to describe the range of distances that are in focus in an image. By adjusting the aperture, focal length, and distance to the subject, photographers can control the depth of field and determine which parts of the scene will be in focus and which will be blurred.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    The _____ the focal length is, the greater the depth of field will be.

    • A.

      Shorter

    • B.

      Longer

    Correct Answer
    A. Shorter
    Explanation
    The shorter the focal length is, the greater the depth of field will be. This is because a shorter focal length allows for a wider angle of view, which in turn increases the depth of field. In simpler terms, when the focal length is shorter, more of the scene is in focus from the foreground to the background.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    Depth of field is increases as the lens aperture becomes _____ .

    • A.

      Smaller

    • B.

      Larger

    Correct Answer
    A. Smaller
    Explanation
    As the lens aperture becomes smaller, the depth of field increases. This means that a smaller aperture allows for a greater range of distance to be in focus in the resulting image. When the aperture is smaller, less light is allowed to enter the lens, resulting in a larger area of the image being in focus. This is particularly useful in landscape photography or when capturing subjects with intricate details, where a larger depth of field is desired to ensure sharpness throughout the image.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    Depth of field _____ the farther away the subject is from the camera.

    • A.

      Decreases

    • B.

      Increases

    Correct Answer
    B. Increases
    Explanation
    As the subject gets farther away from the camera, the depth of field increases. This means that a larger range of the scene will be in focus, from the foreground to the background. This is because as the distance between the camera and the subject increases, the angle of view widens, resulting in a larger area being in focus. So, the correct answer is increases.

    To avoid having a tree or any other object appear to be growing out of the subject's head in a picture, it is important to use a background that is uncluttered. This means choosing a background that is simple and does not have any distracting elements that could detract from the main subject of the photo. By selecting a clean and uncluttered background, the focus remains on the subject and ensures that there are no unwanted objects appearing to be part of the subject's head.

    Photographic film is a thin sheet or strip of flexible plastic coated with a light-sensitive material called an _____ .

    • A.

      Shutter speed

    • B.

      Film speed

    • C.

      Aperture

    • D.

      Emulsion

    Correct Answer
    D. Emulsion
    Explanation
    Photographic film is coated with a light-sensitive material called an emulsion. The emulsion is responsible for capturing and recording the image when exposed to light. It consists of light-sensitive silver halide crystals suspended in a gelatin or collodion base. When light enters the camera and reaches the emulsion, the silver halide crystals undergo a chemical reaction, creating a latent image. This latent image is then developed and fixed to produce a visible photograph. Therefore, the emulsion plays a crucial role in the process of capturing and preserving images on photographic film.

    Bulk fim should only be purchased if it is to be used within a year.  (True or False)

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Bulk film should only be purchased if it is to be used within a year because film has a limited shelf life and can deteriorate over time. If the film is not used within a year, it may lose its quality and result in poor image quality when developed. Therefore, it is advisable to only purchase bulk film if there is a plan to use it within a year to ensure optimal results.

    _____ type cameras are easy to load because no film threading is required.

    • A.

      Roll

    • B.

      Cartridge

    Correct Answer
    B. Cartridge
    Explanation
    Cartridge type cameras are easy to load because no film threading is required. Unlike roll cameras, which require the film to be carefully threaded onto a spool, cartridge cameras have pre-loaded film cartridges that can be easily inserted into the camera. This eliminates the need for the user to manually thread the film, making it a more convenient option for those who are not familiar with the process or prefer a simpler loading mechanism.
