Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed Quiz

In photography, what does the shutter speed control?

• The amount of light entering the camera

• The depth of field

• The duration of time the sensor is exposed to light

• The focus of the image

Which of the following shutter speeds is likely to result in a blurred image when shooting a fast-moving subject?

• 1/1000

• 1/250

• 1/30

• 1/5

What does a smaller f-number (e.g., f/2.8) indicate in terms of aperture?

• A larger aperture opening

• A smaller aperture opening

• A longer exposure time

• A shorter exposure time

Which aperture setting would create a shallow depth of field?

• f/8

• f/16

• f/2.8

• f/22

What is the primary purpose of increasing the ISO setting on your camera?

• To adjust the focus of the image

• To control the amount of ambient light

• To reduce noise in the image

• To make the image brighter in low light conditions

What happens when you decrease the shutter speed while photographing a moving subject?

• The subject will be frozen in motion.

• The subject's motion will be emphasized, creating a sense of speed.

• The subject will become brighter.

• The subject will become darker.

Which of the following situations is best suited for a long exposure?

• Capturing fast-moving sports action

• Freezing the motion of a bird in flight

• Creating light trails of cars at night

• Macro photography of a stationary object

Which term refers to the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light?

• Aperture

• ISO

• Shutter speed

• Focal length

What is the effect of a higher f-number (e.g., f/22) on an image?

• A wider depth of field

• A shallower depth of field

• A faster shutter speed

• A higher ISO setting

Which of the following situations would require a higher ISO setting?

• Shooting in bright daylight

• Shooting in a dimly lit room

• Capturing a stationary landscape

• Photographing a fast-moving subject
