Yes, electrical tape is pretty shiny and I'd avoid it on a camera's
interior. To mask my pinholes, I use gaffers tape, which has a nice
matte, non-reflective surface. Regular duct tape is shiny enough to
worry me, too.

I also found an interesting tool a month or so ago: a hole punch with
a rotating head, so that different sized holes can be punched from the
same tool. I punch a small -- 1/8" -- hole in the center of a piece of
gaffers and use the tape to either secure the brass in place or to back
up and seal the edges of a glue bond.
