The constant name is perfect and intuitive

I might have gone with DELAY_BETWEEN_DETECTION_AND_PICTURE, because it describes what the constant is used for and does not describe it as a "rate", which suggests some sort of x / t measurement where t is a unit of time.

However correct you are! Maybe EMOTIONAL_DELAY?

(oh the implications!)
