I’ve seen the news on Saturday evenings where you have very frum looking people agreeing to be interviewed on camera on shabbat, and I’ve seen other newscasts where a spokesman for a Hasidic block or group will say on camera, “no interviews” due to shabbat. In the case you mentioned above, nobody consented to the melacha, and the goy did this on his own. Also, whether using a camera is even melacha is up to debate (ketiva?)
