What is the difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera?

  1. DSLRs have a mirror that reflects light from the lens to the viewfinder, while mirrorless cameras do not.

  2. DSLRs have a larger sensor than mirrorless cameras.

  3. DSLRs are more expensive than mirrorless cameras.

  4. DSLRs are heavier than mirrorless cameras.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The main difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera is that DSLRs have a mirror that reflects light from the lens to the viewfinder, while mirrorless cameras do not.

What is the purpose of a lens hood?

  1. To protect the lens from scratches and damage.

  2. To reduce lens flare.

  3. To improve image quality.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A lens hood serves multiple purposes, including protecting the lens from scratches and damage, reducing lens flare, and improving image quality.

What is the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO?

  1. Aperture controls the size of the lens opening, shutter speed controls the length of time the shutter is open, and ISO controls the sensitivity of the sensor to light.

  2. Aperture controls the depth of field, shutter speed controls the motion blur, and ISO controls the brightness of the image.

  3. Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the lens, shutter speed controls the speed of the shutter, and ISO controls the sensitivity of the sensor to light.

  4. Aperture controls the size of the lens opening, shutter speed controls the length of time the shutter is open, and ISO controls the brightness of the image.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO is that aperture controls the size of the lens opening, shutter speed controls the length of time the shutter is open, and ISO controls the sensitivity of the sensor to light.

What is the difference between a JPEG and a RAW file?

  1. JPEG files are compressed, while RAW files are uncompressed.

  2. JPEG files are smaller than RAW files.

  3. RAW files contain more information than JPEG files.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The difference between a JPEG and a RAW file is that JPEG files are compressed, while RAW files are uncompressed, JPEG files are smaller than RAW files, and RAW files contain more information than JPEG files.

What is the purpose of a tripod?

  1. To keep the camera steady.

  2. To allow for longer exposures.

  3. To improve image quality.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The purpose of a tripod is to keep the camera steady, allow for longer exposures, and improve image quality.

What is the difference between a prime lens and a zoom lens?

  1. Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, while zoom lenses have a variable focal length.

  2. Prime lenses are generally sharper than zoom lenses.

  3. Prime lenses are smaller and lighter than zoom lenses.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The difference between a prime lens and a zoom lens is that prime lenses have a fixed focal length, while zoom lenses have a variable focal length, prime lenses are generally sharper than zoom lenses, and prime lenses are smaller and lighter than zoom lenses.

What is the purpose of a flash?

  1. To provide additional light for a scene.

  2. To reduce shadows.

  3. To freeze motion.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The purpose of a flash is to provide additional light for a scene, reduce shadows, and freeze motion.

What is the difference between a macro lens and a telephoto lens?

  1. Macro lenses are used for close-up photography, while telephoto lenses are used for distant photography.

  2. Macro lenses have a shorter focal length than telephoto lenses.

  3. Macro lenses have a larger aperture than telephoto lenses.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The difference between a macro lens and a telephoto lens is that macro lenses are used for close-up photography, while telephoto lenses are used for distant photography, macro lenses have a shorter focal length than telephoto lenses, and macro lenses have a larger aperture than telephoto lenses.

What is the purpose of a remote shutter release?

  1. To allow the photographer to take pictures without touching the camera.

  2. To reduce camera shake.

  3. To allow for longer exposures.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The purpose of a remote shutter release is to allow the photographer to take pictures without touching the camera, reduce camera shake, and allow for longer exposures.

What is the difference between a digital SLR and a digital rangefinder camera?

  1. DSLRs have a mirror that reflects light from the lens to the viewfinder, while rangefinder cameras do not.

  2. DSLRs have a larger sensor than rangefinder cameras.

  3. DSLRs are more expensive than rangefinder cameras.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The difference between a digital SLR and a digital rangefinder camera is that DSLRs have a mirror that reflects light from the lens to the viewfinder, while rangefinder cameras do not.

What is the purpose of a light meter?

  1. To measure the amount of light in a scene.

  2. To determine the correct exposure settings for a camera.

  3. To help the photographer compose a well-balanced image.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The purpose of a light meter is to measure the amount of light in a scene, determine the correct exposure settings for a camera, and help the photographer compose a well-balanced image.

What is the difference between a histogram and a color histogram?

  1. A histogram shows the distribution of tones in an image, while a color histogram shows the distribution of colors in an image.

  2. A histogram is a one-dimensional graph, while a color histogram is a two-dimensional graph.

  3. A histogram can be used to adjust the exposure of an image, while a color histogram can be used to adjust the color balance of an image.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The difference between a histogram and a color histogram is that a histogram shows the distribution of tones in an image, while a color histogram shows the distribution of colors in an image, a histogram is a one-dimensional graph, while a color histogram is a two-dimensional graph, and a histogram can be used to adjust the exposure of an image, while a color histogram can be used to adjust the color balance of an image.
