Something to ponder and for someone to possibly use ... andy



Focal Plane shutters are located

just behind the lens
inside the camera's lens
next to the diaphragm
close to the film plane


Kerr cells incorporate

polarizers
RGB filters
ND filters
a photocell


Leaf or diaphragm shutter exposure times are calibrated with 

the lens wide open at 50% light level
a .3 ND filter
shutter set to 1/500 second
at f/32


The ability to achieve short exposure times with 35mm cameras is associated
with:

Focal Plane shutters
Leaf or Diaphragm shutters
Kerr cells
Venetian Blind shutters


Easy interchangeability of lenses is associated with:

Focal Plane shutters
Leaf or Diaphragm shutters
Kerr cells
Venetian Blind shutters


The ability to synchronize with flash at all speeds is associated with:

Focal Plane shutters
Leaf or Diaphragm shutters
Kerr cells
Venetian Blind shutters


Possible distortion of fast moving subjects is associated with:

Focal Plane shutters
Leaf or Diaphragm shutters
Kerr cells
Venetian Blind shutters


If digital cameras incorporate a mechanical shutter it is usually a:

Focal Plane shutter
Leaf or Diaphragm shutters
Kerr cells
Venetian Blind shutters


Malfunctioning focal plane shutters tend to produce:

uneven exposure
no exposure
overexposure
underexposure


A shutter that overexposes by 100% increases exposure over normal by:

1 EV or stop
2 EVs or stops
3 EVs or stops
undefined amount


A shutter that consistently underexposes by 100% causes the film to receive:

1 stop underexposure
2 stops of underexposure
3 stops of underexposure
no exposure


A .3 Neutral Density filter transmits what percentage of light incident on it?:

10%
50%
100%
200%


In a given situation an automatic camera's shutter delivers perfect exposure 
at f/8 and 1/1000 second but when it is used under 1/100 the amount of light 
present for that case it exposes at f/8 for 1 second. The second exposure is 
off by about:

1 EV or stop
3 EVs or stops
6 EVs or stops
10 EVs or stops


The rule of thumb is that to ensure sharp photographs the exposure should not
be longer than:

1/ISO speed of the film
1/the f number of the lens
1/the focal length in inches
1/the focal length in mm


Modern focal plane shutters maintain even exposure across the film plane by:

putting increased drag on the accelerating curtain
adjusting lens f/number during exposure 
increasing slit width proportionally to the increase in curtain speed
decreasing slit width proportionally as curtain speed increases 


Achieving a 100% efficient shutter leaf shutter is impossible because:

these shutters are not capable of short exposure times
the shutter is located between the lens elements
the shutter first has to open 50% before reaching full aperture
it takes time to open and close the blades
