    You have to press & hold the Command+Shift keys BEFORE you click on the snap photo button, to disable the screen flash,

    and add Option key to the combination to disable the countdown.

    I’m sorry. Just the Shift key would do (w/o the Command key)

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a hotkey on the keyboard that allows you to switch between video record and picture taking? I want to be able to run photobooth with out a mouse.

    Please let me know.

    Thanks
