Sample Questions

5 shown

Exposure triangle — three elements?

Show ▼

Aperture (depth of field, light), Shutter Speed (motion, light), ISO (sensor sensitivity, noise).

Aperture f/1.4 vs f/16 — which lets in more light?

Show ▼

f/1.4 — smaller f-number = larger aperture = more light + shallower depth of field.

Why does higher ISO cause noise?

Show ▼

Sensor amplifies the signal — including random fluctuations (noise). Modern sensors are usable up to ISO 6400+ in good light.

Shutter speed for handheld sharpness without VR?

Show ▼

Roughly 1 / (focal_length). 50mm → 1/50s minimum; 200mm → 1/200s.

Reciprocity rule?

Show ▼

If you decrease aperture by one stop (less light), you can compensate with one stop slower shutter or one stop higher ISO.
