If you increase shutter speed to freeze motion, what must you adjust to maintain exposure?

• A. Use a longer shutter speed
• B. Lower ISO
• C. Raise ISO or open the aperture
• D. Change white balance

Answer: (C)

When you speed up the shutter to freeze motion, you let in less light, which can make the image darker. To keep the same exposure, you need to allow more light in through other settings. The two practical ways are to raise ISO (increase the sensor’s sensitivity) or open the aperture (use a lower f-number). Opening the aperture lets more light in but reduces depth of field, while raising ISO brightens the image but can introduce more noise. White balance doesn’t affect exposure, and using a longer shutter speed would increase brightness rather than maintain the frozen motion look.
