A Correct answer
Explanation

Canon used the slogan 'Every shot is a power shot' for their camera products, emphasizing the quality and power of every photograph taken. The campaign highlighted Canon's technology and image quality. Nikon and Konica are also camera brands but didn't use this slogan. Kodak focused on 'Share moments, share life' type messaging rather than power-focused advertising.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation

Early morning and late afternoon provide soft, warm light with longer shadows that creates flattering effects for outdoor photography. At noon, the sun is directly overhead creating harsh shadows and high contrast, while night lacks natural light. Golden hour after sunrise and before sunset is ideal.

Multiple choice general knowledge
  1. By keeping high shutter speed

  2. By using variable length

  3. By keeping the camera in tripod

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C Correct answer
Explanation

Camera shake causes blur from movement during exposure. Higher shutter speeds freeze motion (reducing shake blur), and tripods stabilize the camera completely. Variable length lens is not a solution, and 'None of the above' is incorrect since both A and C are valid methods.

  2. Clicking different pictures with same exposure

  3. Clicking multiple picture with different exposure on the same piece of film

  4. The term does not exist

C Correct answer
Explanation

Multiple exposure in photography involves exposing the same frame of film multiple times to create layered images. This technique allows photographers to superimpose different scenes or subjects in a single photograph. It's not about clicking different pictures with the same exposure, nor is it a non-existent term.
