can we improve the photo taking moment? #87

NBD but it could be crisper. in both chrome and firefox the photo seems to be taken at the expected time (The fourth beat after three beeps), and the video freezes into an image at that moment, but the shutter sound comes after that.

Can the shutter sound happen closer to when the photo is taken? and is it possible to flash the whole screen white for a moment? It would punctuate the photo being taken; if you're holding still for the photo it would help to indicate that it's actually been taken and is no longer a live image.

I've worked on this for a while and had issues. It depends what the flash camera app tells me about hen it takes the photo and it only tells me after it takes th photo and processes the image. I could try per-empting it and just guessing when it's about to take the photo, but it probably wouldn't be that precise.

There is a flash that goes but it has the same timing issue and its barely noticeable. :/ will work on it some more.

I saw a brief yellow flash once in firefox just now but couldn't reproduce it. NBD but I'm wondering if one option is for the flash to be longer so it's more pronounced and maybe hides some of the imprecision with the shutter sound and action.

The trick is, anything more than like 300ms doesn't feel like a flash, and then you can't see the video. We can play with some different options though. There might be something better than what we have.
