2. Nothing that makes sound, light or motion is changed remotely

  • Date: 2026-10 (first kit)
  • Status: accepted
  • Rule: Settings that make sound, light or motion (beeps, lamps, flash, lens motors) are changed by hand only; the owner may approve one harmless change at a time.

Context

A run once woke people at night. Beeps, audio signals, volume, the AF illuminator, lamps, flash and video light, lens motors (Pre-AF, Eye-Start AF), the shutter curtain and SteadyShot all act on the world around the camera.

Decision

They are changed by hand only. The owner may approve one change at a time when it is harmless (Video Light Setting with no light attached and nothing shot, 2026-11-02).

Consequences

Their proofs come from the closed watcher (the owner changes the setting, the kit downloads) or wait for the owner.
