If you are camera-shy, you do not like having your photograph taken. You might turn away, cover the lens, or stand behind someone when a camera comes out. It is a warm, everyday word, not a doctor’s word. People use it about themselves (“I’m a bit camera-shy”) and about children or animals who hide from the camera. It can stretch a little: someone who hates being on video, or who freezes in front of a phone, can still be called camera-shy. It does not mean you are shy in every other way. You can talk a lot with friends and still go quiet when someone says “smile.”
怕拍照;不喜歡上鏡頭

Reluctant or resisting to be photographed.
- Off to Essex, where Geoff Hutton brings our attention to our latest station cat. "Gidea Park Station on the TfL Shenfield line also has a cat, although she is a bit camera shy," he says. "Apparently she lives in a neighbouring house, but spends much of her time at the station - usually, as illustrated, on the north side ticket barrier. Surely such an arrangement should be mandatory for all stations?"
