It just hates cameras.
The Raspberry Pi 2 is camera-shy.
The bug in Raspberry Pi 2 is harmless other than rebooting it.
The photoelectric effect is the observation that many metals emit electrons when light shines upon them.
Electrons emitted in this manner can be called photoelectrons.
These photoelectrons can have sufficient charge in them to interfere with the circuitry of some gizmos.

by PeterO Sat Feb 07, 2015 1:53 pmI have discovered that my PI2 is camera-shy !
Taking its picture with a flash causes an instant power off !
Ive done it three times now and same thing happens each time.
Instant power off…..
Any ideas ?
The effect only happens under VERY specific circumstances.
Importantly, its ONLY really high-intensity bursts like xenon flashes and laser pointers that will cause the issue.
Other bright lights even camera flashes using other technologies wont set it off.
Just dont take it on the red carpet at the Oscars.
Jon is currently shining an 1800-lumen led light at a Pi 2 on his desk: not a wobble.
