I notice my buns have done the same thing. Wild animals also alert to trail cameras. Could be sound or light spectrum of infrared cameras they sense. Someone must have the answer!

My buns definitely react to the infrared night vision sensor. They can also hear when the camera activates and/or rotates. I can’t hear a thing!

Our girl Molly does that too: if she sees a camera pointed at her, she sits up attentively. It’s almost as if she’s posing for something.
I’m a textile artist, and sometimes I have to take a pic of a project to show top a customer. Molly often hops into the frame and sits prettily: https://imgur.com/a/yLshrGG
“These are the dimensions of the prototype, and here’s a complementary bunny!” 😅

Animals often mistake cameras for mouths when held by a photographer
In this context it’s likely the lights or sound of the camera panning alerting them
