True
Camera Raw is one of several proprietary file formats that preserves all the data from a digital camera picture with no after-capture interpretation (in the camera).
True
Chances are this photo below was shot around ¼ of a second to show the motion. The technique used is called controlled blur (motion control) which enables the photographer to create a contrast between moving objects and stationary ones. This is another good motion control technique that enhances subject motion. Typically, a tripod (or some other stable surface is needed) for the slow shutter speeds required.
True
Color Management is a means of coordinating the color output of various devices so the colors you see on a monitor, for example, will be the ones that will appear when you print the image.
True
Color Space is a system for defining specific colors, for example RGB or CMYK. It also refers to a predefined gamut, for example, sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998), or ProPhoto.
True
DPI means dots per inch; a measure of the resolution of a photomechanical halftone or the resolution capacity of a digital printer.
True
DSLR cameras will achieve DOF like traditional cameras but the concept of depth of field does not work (like traditional photograph) with point and shoot cameras (because the sensors are so small). In order to achieve very shallow depth of field (aside from selecting an f/stop like f/2.8 or the flower icon) move you and your camera back and zoom in on the subject.
True
Depth of Field is the range of acceptable focus.
True
Depth of field is governed by three factors: aperture, lens focal length and shooting distance.
True
Digital noise is typically found in the shadow areas of an image or/and in the blue channel of an image.
True
Flash is a short burst of light emitted by an electronic flash unit or strobe to illuminate the scene being photographed and a flash can also be defined as the equipment used to produce this light.
True
Generally speaking, the focal lengths 24mm to 35mm represents wide-angle lenses.
True
If you shoot a black wall and trust the meter, the camera will expose it to be grey wall. The meter is fooled. It improperly overexposes the black wall to make it grey. Use your exposure compensation to underexpose by two stops (-2), which will make the wall appear black, as it should be.
True
If you shoot a white wall and trust the meter, the camera will expose it to be grey wall. The meter is fooled. It improperly underexposes the white wall to make it grey. Use your exposure compensation to overexpose by two stops (+2), which will make the wall appear white, as it should be.
True
In order to freeze a fast moving subject, set your shutter speed to 1/1000 (or higher) or choose the running man icon.
True
In photography, shutter lag is the delay between triggering the shutter and when the photograph is actually recorded which is common in less expensive point and shoot cameras but is never a problem with DSLR or MILCs.
True
Inkjet is a digital printer that sprays microscopic droplets of ink onto a receptive surface to create the appearance of a continuous-tone photograph.
True
JPEG captures 8 bit depth images that equals 256 colors per pixel per each RGB color channel.

True
Midtone is an area of medium brightness, neither a very dark shadow nor a very bright highlight.
True
Most of today s point and shoot digital cameras have some type of close-up capabilities already built in. The macro mode is usually accessed via a button labeled with the stylized tulip or through the menu listings. Once the macro mode is selected the camera is enabled to shoot at very close focusing distances.
True
Panning is a technique where you use a slow shutter speed and follow the subject and the subject comes out sharp and the background goes blurry showing motion.

True
Rear curtain sync allows you to combine flash with a slow shutter speed to get something frozen and blurry in the same shot.
True
Rule of 3rds is a visual recipe for success that is great for beginners. Place your main subject in the intersection of the "imaginary" vertical and horizontal lines which helps break the habit of centering your images habitually.
True
Shallow Depth of Field is when the subject is the only thing in focus but the background is very out of focus.

True
The aperture value (f/stop), shutter speed and ISO make up the exposure triangle because those 3 things need to be balanced in order have proper exposure.
True
The aspect ratio is the ratio of width to height, a measure of the shape of a rectangle. A camera that uses a sensor with 1 1/2 time the pixels measured horizontally as vertically has a 3:2 aspect ratio.
True
The camera's meter averages everything to middle grey or 18% grey, which works well for average scenes. But for tricky scenes the meter can be fooled.
True
The f/stop or aperture adjusts from larger (letting more light pass from the lens to the light-sensitive surface) to smaller (letting less light pass). This is a general statement but remember a low f/stop # like f/2.8 has a large aperture (large opening in the lens like the pupil in your eye) and a high f/stop # like f/22 has a small aperture (small opening in the lens like the pupil in your eye).
True
The rule of thumb, is if you are not using a tripod, your shutter speed needs to be no less than the focal length of your lens. So, a 200mm lens would need no less than 1/250 to handhold (unless you use a tripod or have Vibration reduction or Image Stabilization).
True
The scales below represent the standard full stop scale that we will start with. Shutter speeds actually go up to 1/10,000 of a second and can be many seconds, minutes and even hours long. F/stops can go down to f/256 on large view cameras but again...this is the basic full stop scale. Your camera may show you 1/2 or 1/3 stops which are the numbers between these full stops. Shutter Speed Scale: 1/1000 1/500 1/250 1/125 1/60 1/30 1/15 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 sec Aperture or F/stop Scale: f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 f/32
