What is the purpose of the aperture in a camera lens?

  1. To focus the image

  2. To control the amount of light entering the lens

  3. To change the focal length of the lens

  4. To adjust the white balance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The aperture controls the size of the opening in the lens, which affects the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor.

What is the relationship between shutter speed and motion blur?

  1. Faster shutter speeds create more motion blur

  2. Slower shutter speeds create more motion blur

  3. Shutter speed has no effect on motion blur

  4. Motion blur is not affected by shutter speed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Slower shutter speeds allow more time for movement to occur during the exposure, resulting in more motion blur.

What is the ISO setting on a camera?

  1. The sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light

  2. The aperture of the camera lens

  3. The shutter speed of the camera

  4. The focal length of the camera lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light, affecting the brightness of the image.

What is the purpose of white balance in a camera?

  1. To adjust the color temperature of the image

  2. To control the exposure of the image

  3. To focus the image

  4. To change the focal length of the lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

White balance adjusts the color temperature of the image to ensure that white objects appear white under different lighting conditions.

Which camera mode is best suited for shooting fast-moving subjects?

  1. Auto

  2. Program

  3. Manual

  4. Shutter Priority


Correct Option: D

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 typically faster than zoom lenses

  3. Prime lenses are more expensive than zoom lenses

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, while zoom lenses have a variable focal length. Prime lenses are typically faster than zoom lenses, meaning they have a wider maximum aperture. Prime lenses are also often more expensive than zoom lenses.

What is the purpose of a viewfinder on a camera?

  1. To compose the image

  2. To focus the image

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

  2. DSLR cameras are typically larger and heavier than mirrorless cameras

  3. DSLR cameras have a longer battery life than mirrorless cameras

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DSLR cameras have a mirror that reflects light from the lens to the viewfinder, while mirrorless cameras do not. DSLR cameras are typically larger and heavier than mirrorless cameras. DSLR cameras also have a longer battery life than mirrorless cameras.
