does a photo camera count as a electronic device?

[Unknownsoldier]

does it count as a light? i hid in the closet. My flashlight was off but i watching the watching the tier 3 photo camera to determine when it stopped hunting and it found me in the closet.

The basic tier 1 camera only counts at the moment a picture is taken, Tier 2 and 3 count always. I heard something about a bug also relating to swapping from the T1 camera too soon leading it to remain as if it were electronic until another picture is taken, but, Iuno if that got patched by now or not.

I don't think it's been patched yet, I was being chased and everyone else was being ignored and I had to use incense. Even when people were trying to distract it by getting in its path, (I bring all T2/T3 so its expensive) it was locked on me.

I'm going to just kindly mention that all items in this game have various tags on them as of Ascension.

Anything with the [Electronic] Tag will attract the ghost if it is out and active - the T2 and T3 photo cameras both have this tag.

The T1 camera meanwhile does not have this tag, but the ghost will still be attracted to it if a photo is taken nearby. This effect can even linger after the photo is taken, if you quickly swap off of it (this is not intended behavior however, and can be fixed by simply taking another photo with it)

In not so many words - the T3 Camera is in fact considered an Electronic, and should be put away during a hunt, otherwise the ghost will be able to find you.

how long is that delay before we can swap inventory slots after a photo is taken again? I never bothered to science that...

Because if it's more than two seconds, then the bug should in theory be fixed by proxy... as it becomes impossible to swap quick enough for the bug to occur

IIRC, you can't swap away from the camera while the photo cooldown is running

I think it's around 1.9-2 seconds, I'm not sure on the exact value off the top of my head.

Was it a Banshee? iirc, they're the only ghosts which go after one player and ignores all others until it's desired player is dead, including during hunts. That may be why.

It's the time the camera needs to take the photos (3 seconds for T1, 2 seconds for T2 and 1 second for T3)
