Question

Assertion : In case of crime scene photography, use the flash attachment and get it off the camera.

Reason : Even in available light situations the flash attachment bring out the details of crime scene which is otherwise missed.

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Both Assertion and Reason are true

A flash mounted directly on the camera gives flat, frontal lighting: it washes out surface texture, causes glare from shiny surfaces and casts harsh shadows behind objects.

Taking the flash off the camera (using a sync cord or remote trigger) lets the photographer light the scene from an angle, giving oblique lighting that reveals impressions, tool marks, footwear prints and other texture; so the Assertion is a correct recommendation.

Even when there is enough available light, the flash is used as fill light to open up shadows and record fine details that the available light alone would leave dark or unclear; so the Reason is also a correct statement.

Since both statements are accepted crime scene photography practice, the option calling either of them false does not hold.

Therefore both the Assertion and the Reason are true.

Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are true.
