Explanation

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.

By setting a short delay, the camera will automatically fire the shutter and capture the image after the specified time has elapsed.

10. An exposure with a shutter speed of 1/100sec and an aperture of f8 lets the same amount of light into the camera as which of the following?

Explanation

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.
