    • Marks a particular image

    • Sets the camera to Manual mode

    • Masks the lens

    • Manages your image files

    • Creates Magical photographs

    Correct Answer
    A. Sets the camera to Manual mode
    Explanation
    The 'M' mode setting refers to Manual mode, which allows the user to have full control over the camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. In this mode, the camera does not make any automatic adjustments and the photographer has complete creative control over the exposure of the image. This setting is often used by experienced photographers who want precise control over their images.

    • Takes a self portrait

    Correct Answer
    A. Fires the shutter after a short delay
    Explanation
    The 'Self Timer' setting allows the camera to delay taking a photo after the shutter button is pressed. This is useful in situations where the photographer wants to be included in the photo or needs time to get into position. By setting a short delay, the camera will automatically fire the shutter and capture the image after the specified time has elapsed.

    • 200mm

    • 100mm

    Correct Answer
    A. 18mm
    Explanation
    A wide angle lens is typically characterized by a shorter focal length, allowing for a wider field of view. In this case, the correct answer is 18mm, as it is the shortest focal length among the options provided.

    An exposure with a shutter speed of 1/100sec and an aperture of f8 lets the same amount of light into the camera as which of the following?

    • 1/1000sec at f5.6

    • 1/50sec at f11

    • 1/2sec at f8

    • 1/60sec at f22

    • 1sec at f11

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/50sec at f11
    Explanation
    An exposure with a shutter speed of 1/100sec and an aperture of f8 lets the same amount of light into the camera as 1/50sec at f11. This is because when the shutter speed is doubled from 1/100sec to 1/50sec, the exposure time is increased, allowing more light to enter the camera. Similarly, when the aperture is increased from f8 to f11, the aperture size is reduced, which also allows less light to enter the camera. Therefore, the combination of a longer shutter speed and a smaller aperture compensates for each other, resulting in the same amount of light reaching the camera sensor.
