Having read this meta answer, Am I good to go with a question like the following

When I'm using my compact digital camera, what is the best way to hold the lens cap. (this is very useful when recording videos with the camera as the lens cap impact with the camera records a 'tik-tock' sound in the recorded audio of the video)

Is this kind of question considered off topic? I think avp.SE is not the place for this question.

Following the logic from the top-voted answer to the previous meta discussion, I think this question is fine for topicality. That's because while the example annoyance is video related, there are plenty of factors which apply to still photography as well. Just be prepared for answers to focus more on those concerns than on the video aspect.

Also, it's a little bit on the edge for being a discussion rather than answerable, but the answers so far seem useful.
