Photography Basics Quiz

What are the three important aspects of photography that need to be used together?

• Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO

• Exposure, focus, and composition

• White balance, saturation, and contrast

• Zoom, flash, and filters

Which aspect of photography controls the amount of time the camera's shutter is open?

• Shutter speed

• ISO

• Exposure

• Aperture

What does a high shutter speed do?

• Increases the sensitivity to light

• Captures fast-moving action

• Adds grain and noise to the image

• Creates a shallow depth of field

What happens when the shutter speed is slower?

• The image becomes overexposed

• The depth of field decreases

• Motion blur is introduced

• The image becomes underexposed

Which aspect of photography controls the amount of light entering the camera?

• Aperture

• Shutter speed

• Exposure

• ISO

What does a small aperture value (e.g. F1.4) do?

• Creates a shallow depth of field

• Increases the sensitivity to light

• Captures fast-moving action

• Adds grain and noise to the image

What does a large aperture value (e.g. F22) do?

• Captures fast-moving action

• Adds grain and noise to the image

• Creates a shallow depth of field

• Increases the depth of field

Which aspect of photography controls the sensitivity of the image sensor to light?

• ISO

• Aperture

• Exposure

• Shutter speed

What does increasing the ISO value do?

• Increases the depth of field

• Captures fast-moving action

• Creates a shallow depth of field

• Adds grain and noise to the image

What is the downside of using a high ISO value?

• Motion blur is introduced

• The image becomes grainy and noisy

• The image becomes underexposed

• The depth of field decreases
