Frank, I agree with you. It must be Photoshopped. At least, I thought so. 
But, then...

Maybe she consulted with Hedy Lamarr to come up with a radio activated 
shutter release trigger?
It's too early to tell. When we've all passed to the Great Analogue Tank in 
the Sky, someone, somewhere, sometime will write a thesis proving this, and, 
no doubt, enchance it with references to the fact that the disease called 
iBola was caused by eating Apples...
