Which of the following is NOT a factor to consider when choosing a camera for drone photography?

  1. Sensor size

  2. Resolution

  3. Lens focal length

  4. Weight


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Weight is not a factor to consider when choosing a camera for drone photography, as the drone will carry the camera.

What is the most important factor to consider when choosing a lens for drone photography?

  1. Focal length

  2. Aperture

  3. Image stabilization

  4. Weight


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Focal length is the most important factor to consider when choosing a lens for drone photography, as it determines the field of view and the ability to capture close-up or wide-angle shots.

Which of the following is NOT a common focal length for drone photography?

  1. 16mm

  2. 24mm

  3. 35mm

  4. 50mm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

50mm is not a common focal length for drone photography, as it is too long for most applications. Common focal lengths for drone photography include 16mm, 24mm, and 35mm.

What is the advantage of using a wide-angle lens for drone photography?

  1. It allows you to capture more of the scene

  2. It creates a more dramatic effect

  3. It is easier to focus

  4. It is lighter than a telephoto lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A wide-angle lens allows you to capture more of the scene, which is useful for capturing landscapes or large groups of people.

What is the advantage of using a telephoto lens for drone photography?

  1. It allows you to capture close-up shots

  2. It creates a more compressed look

  3. It is easier to focus

  4. It is lighter than a wide-angle lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A telephoto lens allows you to capture close-up shots of distant objects, which is useful for wildlife photography or capturing details of buildings or structures.

What is the difference between aperture and shutter speed?

  1. Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the lens, while shutter speed controls the duration of time that the shutter is open.

  2. Aperture controls the depth of field, while shutter speed controls the motion blur.

  3. Aperture controls the ISO, while shutter speed controls the white balance.

  4. Aperture controls the focus, while shutter speed controls the exposure.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the lens, which affects the brightness of the image. Shutter speed controls the duration of time that the shutter is open, which affects the motion blur in the image.

What is the relationship between aperture and depth of field?

  1. A larger aperture results in a shallower depth of field.

  2. A smaller aperture results in a deeper depth of field.

  3. Aperture has no effect on depth of field.

  4. Depth of field is controlled by the focal length of the lens.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A larger aperture (smaller f-number) results in a shallower depth of field, which means that only a small portion of the image will be in focus. A smaller aperture (larger f-number) results in a deeper depth of field, which means that more of the image will be in focus.

What is the relationship between shutter speed and motion blur?

  1. A faster shutter speed results in less motion blur.

  2. A slower shutter speed results in more motion blur.

  3. Shutter speed has no effect on motion blur.

  4. Motion blur is controlled by the aperture of the lens.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A faster shutter speed (shorter exposure time) results in less motion blur, as the camera is able to capture the image before the subject has a chance to move. A slower shutter speed (longer exposure time) results in more motion blur, as the camera is able to capture the movement of the subject.

What is the best way to avoid camera shake when shooting with a drone?

  1. Use a tripod

  2. Use a gimbal

  3. Increase the shutter speed

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above methods can be used to avoid camera shake when shooting with a drone. Using a tripod or gimbal will help to stabilize the camera, increasing the shutter speed will help to reduce motion blur, and using a remote control or app to trigger the shutter will help to eliminate camera shake caused by pressing the shutter button.

What is the best way to learn more about camera and lens selection for drone photography?

  1. Read articles and tutorials online

  2. Watch YouTube videos

  3. Take a photography course

  4. Experiment with different cameras and lenses


Correct Option:
Explanation:

All of the above methods can be used to learn more about camera and lens selection for drone photography. Reading articles and tutorials online, watching YouTube videos, taking a photography course, and experimenting with different cameras and lenses are all great ways to learn more about this topic.
