A square grid is laid on a flat terrain and is photographed from an aerial camera. The flying height and camera parameters are assumed to be constant. The camera and lens are assumed to be perfect (i.e. free from any distortions). The image of the grid obtained from the camera is shown below. Select the CORRECT statement from the statements given below. 

1
Camera is looking directly downwards (towards nadir)
2
The given photograph is a vertical photograph
3
The given photograph is an oblique photograph
4
Scale over the given photograph is constant

Which of the following statement is NOT true regarding relief displacement in vertical photographs in the context of aerial photogrammetry?
1
Relief displacement is the shift in the photographic position of an object caused by the elevation of the object (above or below the datum)
2
Relief displacement is always in non-radial direction from the principal point
3
Relief displacement can cause straight roads (not passing through the ground principal point) to appear crooked in undulating terrain
4
The magnitude of relief displacement is affected by the flying height of the camera (assuming everything else to be same)
