With the use of digital cameras becoming nearly universal, a new problem has arisen. These cameras typically feature a simulated shutter sound to emulate shutters on older, non-digital cameras. The problem is that the digital cameras tend to be louder. When a significant number of cameras are present, the combined sound of these simulated shutters can overpower the speakers' voices, rendering his or her words completely inaudible.
Fortunately, this problem is very easily fixed. Digital cameras commonly have a feature in their menus that allows the camera sounds to be muted, or the shutter sound alone to be reduced in volume. This is very easily accomplished, and any photographer should be able to make the appropriate adjustments very quickly. This needs to be a requirement for everyone.
