Question 1

In 1829, Niepce and Louis Mande Daguerre formed a partnership to work together on the improvement of ___________________

Accepted Answer

Niepce and Louis Mande Daguerre formed a partnership to work on the improvement of heliography, which is an early photographic process.

Question 2

Wet collodion process was invented in________

Accepted Answer

The wet collodion process was invented in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer. This photographic technique involved coating a glass plate with collodion and sensitizing it with silver nitrate, which made it sensitive to light.

Question 3

In the late________, flexible film appeared for the first time, replacing clumsy and heavy glass plates

Accepted Answer

Flexible film, which revolutionized photography by replacing glass plates, was first introduced in the late 1880s.

Question 4

Kodak Camera was invented by__________________

Accepted Answer

George Eastman is credited with inventing the Kodak camera, significantly contributing to the popularization of photography by making it more accessible to the general public.

Question 5

Rules of third

Accepted Answer

The rule of thirds is a composition rule in photography and visual arts, which suggests that an image should be divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

Question 6

CCD

Accepted Answer

CCD stands for Charge-Coupled Device, which is a type of image sensor used in digital cameras and video cameras.

Question 7

Capturing

Accepted Answer

The answer of Capturing
...

Question 8

Depth of Field

Accepted Answer

Depth of Field (DoF) refers to the range of distance within a photo that appears acceptably sharp. It extends in front of and behind the subject that is in focus, varying depending on camera settings, lens focal length, and distance to the subject. Choices B, C, and D do not describe DoF.

Question 9

General Character of SLR Camera

Accepted Answer

SLR cameras typically have interchangeable lenses, allowing photographers to switch lenses for different types of photography.

Question 10

ISO number in film

Accepted Answer

The ISO number in film refers to the film speed rating, which indicates the sensitivity of the film to light. A higher ISO number means the film is more sensitive and can be used in lower light conditions.

Question 11

Amount of light that falls in to the sensor of the camera

Accepted Answer

Exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor, affecting the brightness or darkness of the photo.

Question 12

ISO

Accepted Answer

ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization, which is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops standards to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of products, services, and systems.

Question 13

A Digital Image is made up of thousands of

Accepted Answer

Digital images are made up of thousands of pixels, which are the tiny dots that collectively form the image. Each pixel represents a color or shade in the image.

Question 14

SLR

Accepted Answer

Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras use a mirror and prism system that allows the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured.

Question 15

Camera modes

Accepted Answer

Portrait mode is a camera setting that is designed to capture a clear photo of a subject while blurring the background, often used in photography to emphasize the subject. The other options (lens, viewfinder, and focal length) are components or characteristics of a camera, not modes.

Question 16

Aperture:

Accepted Answer

Aperture controls the size of the hole through which light enters the camera, affecting the exposure and depth of field in a photograph.

Question 17

ISO Number

Accepted Answer

The ISO number on film or a digital camera refers to the sensitivity of the film or sensor to light. A higher ISO number indicates greater sensitivity.

Question 18

shutter speed

Accepted Answer

Shutter speed controls the duration for which the camera's sensor is exposed to light, thus affecting the exposure timing.

Question 19

Ambient light

Accepted Answer

Ambient light refers to the available light in the surroundings, which can be natural (like sunlight) or artificial (like street lights). It does not specifically refer to backlight or artificial light alone, but includes all light sources present in the environment.

Question 20

Autofocus

Accepted Answer

Autofocus refers to the feature in cameras and optical devices where the lens automatically adjusts its focus on the subject, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by the user.
