So is a regular camera ok? I'm not sure where you're going with this. Is a camera ok but the camera function on an iphone is dangerous? What about a GoPro? Cameras are not prohibited by FARs outside of the sterile environment.
Now, if you are saying that using your phone's camera function for maybe a 7 second photo is for some reason dangerous, again, LEAVING THE FLIGHTDECK ENTIRELY to use the restroom must be exponentially more dangerous. Do you truly think there is a danger here or are you just saying "breaking a (possible)FAR is wrong?"
