How well did you answer the questions?

 

Question 1: What is a prime lens?

  • A lens with a fixed focal length
  • A lens with prime numbered apertures (f/2, f/3, f/5, f/7,…)
  • The best quality lens in your collection

Explanation:

All lenses will fall into either the ‘Prime’ or ‘Zoom’ category. ‘Prime’ refers to the singular focal length, whilst ‘Zoom’ refers to a lens with a variable focal length.

 

Question 2: A 50mm lens for a full-frame camera is equivalent to which lens on a Micro Four Thirds system?

  • 50mm
  • 25mm
  • 100mm
  • I have no idea

Explanation:

The Micro Four Thirds system uses a smaller sensor that features a 2x crop factor. The focal length listed on a Micro Four Thirds lens will have a full frame equivalent focal length of double that number (eg: if the lens says “25mm”, the effective focal length is 50mm).

 

Question 3: Have you set up your “My Menu” feature?

  • Yes
  • No
  • What’s that?

Explanation:

Yes, you should set this up!

 

Question 4: What is H2 equal to?

  • 3200
  • 12,800
  • 25,600
  • Not enough information provided to work it out

Explanation:

Some camera companies use “Hi” or “H” to indicate an ISO setting higher than the highest numbered ISO. In this case, “H1” is 1 stop greater sensitivity than 3200, which means it is equivalent to ISO 6400. “H2” is 2 stops greater, equivalent to 12,800.

 

Question 5: Which is the correct histogram for the above image?

  • Left histogram (blue outline)
  • Right histogram (red outline)
  • I’m not sure

Explanation:

Looking at the histogram on the left (blue outline), the large hump of data on the right side of that histogram is the light tones of the water. The tail that extends of the hump represents the darker tones of the rocks.

The histogram on the right (red outline) does not show any darker tones and therefore cannot be the correct one for this image.

 

Question 6: What new country is John traveling to later in 2023?

  • Japan
  • Uganda
  • Ecuador
  • France

Explanation:

John and Michelle are looking forward to their 18 day trip to Quito (capital of Ecuador) and the Galapagos later this year.
