In AV Mode on a DSLR, what does the camera automatically adjust when you set the aperture?
Press to flip
The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and ISO.
Why is a tripod recommended when using a long shutter speed?
To avoid blur caused by hand movement.
What phenomenon might you capture with a long shutter speed?
Motion Blur.
How does aperture size influence depth of field in a photograph?
A large aperture (small f-stop number) results in a shallow depth of field, blurring the background. A small aperture (large f-stop number) results in a wider depth of field with more of the scene in focus.
What is the role of ISO in photography?
ISO determines the sensitivity of the image sensor to light; higher ISO can brighten an image but may introduce noise.
What is one advantage of using a lower ISO setting?
Produces images with less noise.
Why is practicing with different camera settings important for beginners in DSLR photography?
It helps in understanding the effects of different settings and makes adjusting settings more intuitive over time.
How does shutter speed affect the brightness of an image?
Longer open time results in more light and a brighter image, whereas a shorter open time results in less light and a darker image.
What camera mode should you use to experiment with shutter speed on a DSLR?
TV Mode (Shutter Priority Mode).
How are f-stops denoted and what do they measure?
F-stops are denoted like f/1.8 or f/10 and they measure the size of the aperture opening.
How does camera manufacturer variation affect beginners?
Camera interfaces can vary, so beginners should familiarize themselves with their particular camera's interface.
What is the advantage of using a short shutter speed?
Short shutter speeds capture fast-moving objects without blur by freezing motion.
What does DSLR stand for in photography?
Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera.
What is a potential downside of using a higher ISO setting?
It can introduce more noise into the image, leading to a grainy appearance.
What effect can be achieved with a high aperture setting?
A shallow depth of field, creating bokeh by focusing on the subject and blurring the background.
