There isn’t one. Only if it emits or receives a signal. There is a real handy flowchart for you to use on this page.

The rule wasn't written with cameras in mind, that was collateral damage, they were trying to account for texting, online activity, etc. Politicians got involved after a NW crew overflew their destination at FL350 while sleeping, and blamed it on being distracted by a laptop.
Or kindles for that matter... technically it's OK to read a paperback but not a kindle.

Yes. Same rules as using your cell phone.

Heck, I'm not even sure most know it exists thinking they only are prohibited from doing such below 10.

In the real world flying the line, easily 75-80% of guys (including some checkairman by the way) do not technically abide by this reg since they use their phones to take pics and sometimes play other games. At cruise though, not below 10,000.

Be aware that if there's an incident and you're using the pax wifi, they WILL find that out. If you don't use wifi, they probably have no way of knowing.
Also at least one major I'm aware of has software which will flag you if login into any company systems which are not approved for inflight use (example bidding system). So don't do that.

a few years ago, there was some male Karen who was going through pilots Instagram feeds, looking for pictures that were taken in flight and reporting them to the FAA. And of course, these pilots were investigated.
Point is, do not be stupid up there. It's one thing to read "company material" or even use your disconnected phone to catch up on company material. But if anything gets dorked up, you can bet the FAA and your company will ask for your phone immediately to make sure you weren't on the WiFi.
