Hi,
I was wondering if this is normal on my Touch PRO.
When I launch "Camera" app, go to settings and tap "Flash Light", the LED turns on and lights constantly until I tap it again to disable.
Accoring to manual (and common sense) it should allow the LED to make a high powered burst when shooting photo, and not just light constantly (I thought that 'torch' apps are for that).
In few words: My Touch PRO "flash light" LED works like a torch, not like flash.
Do you get this behaviour ?
Is it normal for a LED-enabled camera phone ?
Cheers
dont have a pro yet, but from what Ive read and seen on reviews its supposed to do that. It stays on then flashes when you take a picture. No need for a torch application..
hi
I get the same, when you turn the flash on the light comes on, when you take a pic it flashes gos out for 2-3 sec then turns back on.
This is normal behaviour. It was on my Hermes as well. The LED is enabled, but not at "full" extend. The light is meant so that the camera can focus when you are taking a photo in a dark environment. At the moment you make the actual photo, the LED lights up brighter for a second.
This behavior is necessary for taking pictures. The camera app assumes that if you turn on the flash, the ambient light level is low.
The flash then lights up at a medium level to help you frame the shot on the screen (that would otherwise be too dark or too noisy to see anything).
Finally, once you actually take the picture it flashes at full power to allow for a decent exposure.
I hope it helps.
Does exist any shortcut or program to turn on the flash light without starting up the Camera app for using it as a torch?
at the moment, no.
The usual suspect, VJCandela, doesn't seem to work with the Raphael just yet.
Hi all,
I've this idea. Can we turn the flash light (LED) on, during photo /video shooting?
The camera is hardly focus on the object, as the low light condition. All the photos I took were blur.
Situation 1, The current camera is:
1. Turn on the flashing mode. No LED light turn on.
2. Focus and snap photo.
3. Flashing light. (LED turn on)
4. The photo still blur, as the camera cannot focus the object at all before that.
Situation 2, If we can:
1. Turn on the LED light. Soft or Bright light (maybe in two modes?)
2. The object should be focused and snap it.
3. Light turn off.
4. Saving nice great photo.
Actually I used to have a Sony Ericsson K750, it worked perfectly as described in situation 2. Hope you guys get what I meant here.
Just wonder how do we change these? I am new to this Android.
I would love to learn how to program it.

This pic is taken with a stock camera. It doesnt matter which White Balance I chose, the camera can never correct the green light. The lights and objects on windows on the right building have correct colors.

This pic is taken with Camera360 app at max ISO (1600) with flashlight constantly on. I noticed that the app flushes the photo with some red (already visible through the phone before pressing the shutter) and now the walls shows the correct color but the windows/curtains and the sky(the sky is the least of my worries) are overflushed with red. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
I know that camera phones are basically point and shoot and I shouldnt expect too much of it under low light conditions but I have a photo that shows rows of green lit light posts and I am not pleased
What should I do to fix this?
When I take a picture I notice that the camera flash is MUCH brighter when i take a picture then when I use an app to turn the LED on the front on.
Any idea how to have the flashlight as bright as the camera flash? Anybody else notice this?
this is to preserve the nexus s from damages... turning it on at the maximum power could damage your phone, anyway there are roms where you can choose to use high luminosity, like paranoid, but could be dangerous...
How does this work given the camera is usually inside the phone?
I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't check the light through the selfie cam but through a designated sensor. Could be wrong though ?
No phone checks the light with the camera.... It uses a brightness sensor as any other phone too.....
