<p class="MsoNormal">I do not fully get the analogy or appropriateness of a
microphone to a camera. Do we know for sure that a camera taking a picture with
or without an image, or with different backgrounds or colors uses the same
amount of electricity?<span style=""> </span>And if the amount
of electricity used does vary, would it be a problem?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some people wait to open a refrigerator on Shabbas, until
they can actually hear the motor running, so as not to trip the motor circuit.
However, the simple act of opening a fridge, whether or not the motor is on at
the time, causes warmer air to enter, thus necessitating that the motor will
run longer.<span style=""> </span>People however DO open
refrigerators on Shabbas, so affecting electricity usage might not be a
problem.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Microphone is assur for another reason that I was told; you are deriving
benefit from it (neicha lei).</p>
