To convert light into an electrical signal

To store images on a memory card

To process and enhance images

To display images on a screen

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)

CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)

Foveon X3

Super HAD CCD

Full-frame cameras have larger sensors than crop-sensor cameras

Crop-sensor cameras have larger sensors than full-frame cameras

Full-frame cameras have higher resolution than crop-sensor cameras

Crop-sensor cameras have higher resolution than full-frame cameras

Larger sensors generally produce better image quality

Smaller sensors generally produce better image quality

Sensor size has no impact on image quality

Image quality is determined solely by the lens

Resolution and image quality are the same thing

Resolution is a measure of the number of pixels in an image, while image quality is determined by a variety of factors

Image quality is a measure of the number of pixels in an image, while resolution is determined by a variety of factors

Resolution and image quality are unrelated

The difference between the brightest and darkest parts of an image

The range of colors that can be captured by a camera

The sharpness of an image

The amount of noise in an image

ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light

ISO controls the aperture of the lens

ISO controls the shutter speed of the camera

ISO controls the white balance of the camera

Higher ISO settings generally result in more noise

Lower ISO settings generally result in more noise

ISO has no impact on noise

Noise is determined solely by the lens

To adjust the color temperature of an image

To adjust the brightness of an image

To adjust the contrast of an image

To adjust the sharpness of an image

JPEG is a lossy compression format, while RAW is a lossless compression format

JPEG is a lossless compression format, while RAW is a lossy compression format

JPEG and RAW are both lossless compression formats

JPEG and RAW are both lossy compression formats

RAW files provide more flexibility for editing

RAW files are smaller in size than JPEG files

RAW files are more compatible with different software

RAW files are less prone to noise

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

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

Prime lenses are always wider than zoom lenses

Zoom lenses are always wider than prime lenses

A wider aperture (lower f-number) results in a shallower depth of field

A wider aperture (lower f-number) results in a deeper depth of field

Aperture has no impact on depth of field

Depth of field is determined solely by the lens

To block stray light from entering the lens

To protect the lens from physical damage

To improve the sharpness of the image

To reduce the amount of flare in the image

UV filters block ultraviolet light, while polarizing filters block polarized light

UV filters block polarized light, while polarizing filters block ultraviolet light

UV filters and polarizing filters both block ultraviolet light

UV filters and polarizing filters both block polarized light
