For information about the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in the UK have a look at AIC 1/2004 (Pink 62):

http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/aip/cu...4_P_001_en.pdf

Cameras fall into the category of 'unintentionally transmitting PEDs'

3 Policy - Unintentionally Transmitting PEDs


3.1 To control the use of unintentionally transmitting PEDs, the operator should implement the following procedures:


(a)
All PEDs should be switched OFF, fully disconnected from any in-seat electrical power supply and stowed for taxi, take-off, approach and landing, and during abnormal or emergency conditions.

Note 1:

This restriction applies to equipment carried on board by the passenger or provided to the passenger by theoperator.
Note 2:

This restriction does not apply to time measuring equipment, implanted medical devices or permitted medical equipment.
(b) Announcements should be broadcast to provide passengers with sufficient opportunities to verify that all of their PEDs
are switched OFF.

3.2 The cabin crew should monitor use of PEDs during non-critical phases of flight and, where necessary, action should be taken to ensure that any suspect equipment is switched OFF.
