Camera Flash Function

When using the camera, all the flash options seem to be greyed out. Unfortunately this means that I can't take a photo in low light situations. Have also tried the night mode which is unselectable.
The oddity is that I have been able to download a flashlight app - which works fine.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?

As for my own preference I use the stabelizer instead of the flash option. I found with the flash, it can sometimes tend to make a hotspot in the picture especially when close to the subject. The flash on these phones is not very powerful to begin with.
You've noticed that on the Z30?
Flash on mine seems quite adequate.
However, the issue this user mentions is likely a result of the leaked OS 10.2.1.xxx installed.

Q10 I turn Camera Flash On but it Doesn't work IN ALL MODES

Q10 I turn Camera Flash On but it Doesn't work IN ALL MODES

I know, especially stupid that it doesn't work in stabilisation mode as its often that mode used in lower light situations that would benefit from the flash... have no idea why BB doesn't allow US to chose when we want a certain function.

I just got an IPhone 4 and everytime I get a phone call, my camera flash starts strobing. How can I get it to stop

You have enabled this function in the Settings menu. Follow this guide to disable it: http://snapguide.com/guides/switch-your-iphone-camera-flash-for-incoming-calls/

Hi, can you tell me if you got the answer to the camera flash problem as I have the same problem with mine.

Camera Flash not working on N95

Hey everyone hopefully you can help me out. I received an apparently water damaged N95 (only know this because of the red water indicator, internally the phone looks very clean with no signs of corrosion anywhere).
Everything on the phone is completely functional apart from the camera flash in any setting. I have replaced the whole camera lens assembly with flash LED and ribbon from another working phone but STILL it does not work. I have also done a firmware update.
Im guessing ive tried everything and its a mainboard hardware fault?
Can anyone advise me on anything else or how i would go about fixing the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Andy

I forgot to mention the red light comes on when recording a video but thats all. :mansurprised:
Im going to phone a nokia repair centre tomorrow, tell them everything ive said here and see what my options are, if any. Does a nokia repair centre repair phones down to component level or just scrap the motherboard for a new one? Not much of a repair centre if they do.
Anyhow ill see what happens.

Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
Please suggest a solution.

If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data by resetting.
Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Camera flash stays on and crashes the device

I have the camera flash set to automatic. Whenever it flashes, it doesn't just flash--it stays on and crashes the entire device (except for the light). A battery pull resets the device (including the light). Something about the flash function is causing it because if the camera does not use the flash there is no problem. Any recommendations?
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try opening the video camera and using the light. Any problems?
I would open the camera, options, change the flash to any other option then save.
Open the camera again, select the flash option desired and save. Then do a battery
pull as listed.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks,
Bifocals
No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON.
Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed.

Canon Speedlight 270 EX as a macro off camera flash?

Hi,
I´m considering to buy tomorrow, a second hand unit for a nice price (+-50,00 USD) of the older Canon Speedlight 270 EX (not the version II) as a macro off camera flash?
The bounce head feature seems a nice way to use for my macro subjects (for bounce light) or direct light with the flash upside down/belly up firing to my subjects directly.
My question is this:
1.
can I use this older unit with a flash cord?
(This flash isn´t capable of wireless/infrared communication. So only with a ETTL cord I guess).
2.
which Canon cord should I use?
As an example you can check macro DYI rigs using both 270EX and 270EX II unit.
Mine will be the older 270EX (version I)
http://orionmystery.blogspot.pt/2010/12/more-macro-rigs.html
My macro rig is Canon 5D Mark III+Canon MP-E 65mm macro and 100mm L macro.
Thank you very much for your help.

Any "Off Camera" OC-E? cord will do the job. They allow exactly the same function as mounting the flash directly in the camera's hot shoe. I use OC-E2 and OC-E3 interchangeably.
The only significant difference between OC-E2 and OC-E3 is the way the end locks onto the shoe... the E2 uses a "dial" type fixing mechanism you tighten, while the E3 uses a lever mechanism. The E3 was redesigned to be more water/dust resistant, at the same time as the 580EX, 430EX and some other flashes were intro'd with a similar mounting foot.

Is the camera flash supposed to go off with the alarm on the iPhone 4S when it is locked?

I have just recently noticed that the camera flash goes off with the alarm in a three flash pattern when the phone is locked, but not when it isn't. I can't find a way to turn it off in the settings and was curious if this is supposed to happen or if it's a bug?
Thanks in advance for your help.

See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

IPhone 5c camera flash

dear repective sir
last week purchase ipnone 5c today face some problem on my handset camera flash not working ,what i do ? plz suggest me .

Hello szpryczek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with your iPhone camera, please follow the steps below.
Camera
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
If the issue persists after the previous steps, please click the link below to contact Apple Support.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
Thank you again.

I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.
