HAHAHAHHAHAH  ...I like your answer better Jem.... But you are close because
this is what it resembles when a "shooter" has his head down looking at the
pictures he just shot and poking buttons while those around him are busy
making pictures.

"chimping"; a term used in photojournalism circles to describe the practise
of pecking (or picking) buttons to review your digital images on the cameras
itsy-bitsy LCD screen instead of taking picture.
