Photoactive Camera Settings Quiz

The initials "AF" on camera settings stand for auto focus. This feature allows the camera to automatically adjust the focus on the subject being photographed, ensuring that it appears sharp and clear.

The 'M' mode setting refers to Manual mode, which allows the user to have full control over the camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. In this mode, the camera does not make any automatic adjustments and the photographer has complete creative control over the exposure of the image. This setting is often used by experienced photographers who want precise control over their images.

The initials WB on camera settings stand for white balance. White balance refers to the adjustment of colors in a photograph to ensure that white objects appear white, regardless of the lighting conditions. By setting the white balance correctly, the camera can accurately reproduce colors and prevent images from appearing too warm or cool.

This is the fastest shutter speed

ISO sets the light sensitivity of the camera's image sensor or 'film'

This is the aperture that lets in the most light

The 'Self Timer' setting allows the camera to delay taking a photo after the shutter button is pressed. This is useful in situations where the photographer wants to be included in the photo or needs time to get into position. By setting a short delay, the camera will automatically fire the shutter and capture the image after the specified time has elapsed.

This is the aperture that will give the maximum distance of sharpness (in focus) within your image

A wide angle lens is typically characterized by a shorter focal length, allowing for a wider field of view. In this case, the correct answer is 18mm, as it is the shortest focal length among the options provided.

An exposure with a shutter speed of 1/100sec and an aperture of f8 lets the same amount of light into the camera as 1/50sec at f11. This is because when the shutter speed is doubled from 1/100sec to 1/50sec, the exposure time is increased, allowing more light to enter the camera. Similarly, when the aperture is increased from f8 to f11, the aperture size is reduced, which also allows less light to enter the camera. Therefore, the combination of a longer shutter speed and a smaller aperture compensates for each other, resulting in the same amount of light reaching the camera sensor.
