Standard Screens
What is it?
These are screens that may be displayed regardless of what experience you are running. These screens are not compulsory, but may be beneficial to users.
For example, adding an af_error.png screen will allow you to convey to users that the camera has not been able to lock focus. If you dont use it, users will just see a blank screen.
Another example would be If you are running a timed booth (where you can auto start and stop the photo booth based on a preset time), it makes sense to use before_session.jpg and after_session.jpg so users know when they can and can not use the booth.
