Camera flashes

I'm being extremely paranoid, but can prolonged exposure to camera flashes damage a PowerBook, the screen in particular? On the set, I am always taking flash photography, with my PowerBook open right in front of me and the camera/flash.

    In comparison to the amount of energy that the backlight constantly pumps through the LCD, a camera flash system is going to contribute relatively little. I have never heard that LCD's are broken down by spikes of light... it is more the constant shifting and the slow breakdown by heat that eventually kills them.



    Executive summery: don't be concerned.
