Click the the circle on the left and click on the circle of the matching definition on the right. ISO Determines sensitivity of image sensor to light White balance Sets all colors based on environment's light Digital Zoom Camera enlarges image, affects image resolution Shutter speed Setting that allows for shooting moving subject without blurring Focus Sharpness or clarity of an image Click the the circle on the left and click on the circle of the matching definition on the right. Focal length Distance from the lens to the imaging sensor Decibels Measurement used for gain f-stops Measurement used for iris Aperture Opening created by the iris, controls light MOD Point at which a subject is too close for lens to focus DSLR and HDSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses. True False Shutter speed has no effect on how much light enters the lens. True False Digital zoom isn't a true zoom and creates quality loss of the image.

What key factors led you to decide your settings? (I am asking you to explain 4 different things, so to get full credit you need to talk about all 4 things) When you changed the ISO to a higher number, what did it do to the pictures you took? What setting did you need to change to compensate for this? EXPLAIN!
