When you increase the shutter speed to a faster speed, you ______ the amount of light entering the camera.

• A. Decrease
• B. Increase
• C. Stay the same
• D. Invert

Answer: (A)

Shutter speed controls how long the camera’s sensor is exposed to light. When you increase shutter speed, you shorten that exposure time, so less light hits the sensor. The result is less light entering the camera. If you need more light, you’d use a slower shutter speed (longer exposure), a wider aperture, or a higher ISO.
