True

A shutter speed of 1/250 second is fast enough to freeze the motion of a man walking from side to side across the field of view.

True

A standard focal length lens (normal) provides a field of view similar to human vision.

True

The aperture is indicated by its f-number or f-stop.

True

The shutter speed controls how long light is admitted into the camera.

True

The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field.
