I don't understand why they are banning them tbh if it is for distractions of flash etc???

I think if it is flash then they will have more problems with point and click cameras or even camera phones.

I went to Devon county show a few years ago and had been asked to take some photos by wifes boss who exhibits there, I went into the cattle shed and got a lecture from a security guard about using flash I politely told him that my flash was not popped up I dan't use it and wasn't going to use it, whilst he was talking to me there were so many flashes going off it was like a fire work display
