because doing so may cause noise to
adversely affect the pictures and sounds.
•Recorded data may be damaged, or
pictures may be distorted by strong
magnetic fields created by speakers or
large motors.

by a microprocessor may adversely affect
the camera, causing the disturbance of
pictures and sounds.
