Expert  764   |  Subject: video camera etiquetteA guy at work recently got a new video camera and has started bringing it to work. He recorded our office training one day, unbeknownst to me, and sent the video out to us later. Yesterday he tried to record our PT session, which happened to be a spin class. A few of us objected, he said "it's not going on you tube or anything" and acted upset when we told him to turn it off or we were taking it away from him. Is there any etiquette anymore regarding videotaping people? I always thought it was polite to ask permission or warn people when recording something where others are obviously a subject of the video. It's one thing to record your kids or yourself and happen to have people nearby, but it's a whole other story when you're zooming in on people who don't know you're recording them! Is this just part of the paparazzi/People magazine generation? |

Veteran 228 Greenbelt, MD | Subject: RE: video camera etiquette Not just videotaping. I really hate it when someone takes my picture without permission. This guy I used to work with (who already irritated me endlessly) brought his new cool camera into work one day and just started taking pictures of everyone. I made him delete the picture he took of me without asking. It's not so much that I would have objected (although I would have made an odd face), but he didn't ask. It's a horrible invasion of privacy and you also should have a right to what is done with your "image". After all, isn't that what all those lawsuits out in Hollywood are about? |

A few years back we went to the local county fair, and wouldn’t you know while walking thru the photo contests building there is my 8 year old hanging on the wall. Some one took her and another kid playing in the sand box at her brothers baseball game. I was a little tick at that... |
