N78 camera flash problem!!!

Hi all. I have just gotten my N78 and I realised my camera works in a weird way.
When I take a shot, with 'NO FLASH' selected, the camera still flashes.
When I take a shot, with 'FLASH ON' selected, the camera flashes, but this time a slightly longer and brighter flash is noted.
Is this normal?
I went to a Nokia phone shop and inquired about the flash. The staff told me it is normal, but when I asked the Nokia Care shop officer, he told me there is a problem with my flash.
However, I was told that my phone cannot be sent for repair yet, as the software is not updated yet. He said the flash was due to a software problem.
Users of N78, does your camera flash when you switch it to no flash?
Thanks.

Sounds like a mechanical fault rather than software.
Itz noot a mechanical/hardware problem as said by psychomania its there in every Nseries devices with a camera and a flash I believe. It is there on my N80 and my brothers N70 it is a privacy feature put in place by Nokia though at times everyone might have wished if it wasn't there.

Camera flash problem looms wen I upgraded to the 10.2 version

I recently installed d new OS 10.2 on my fone and since den my camera flash has been either dim or totally nt working.... hw can I fix dis

Many thanks.

With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services and Applications"
Open "Services"
Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
OK out of the tab.
Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?

The white N97 camera flash problem

Has anyone found a fix yet, for the constant flash glare that plagues photos taken on the white N97? Like when the flash goes off it leaves a bloom of light around the bottom left of the photo? It's a pretty well documented problem. I just wondered if anyone has found a fix? Ta.

Best way to fix the white flash on the N97 is to fix it for once and for all. Put the phone N97 down on a table and find your self a snack and a HAMMER, open your snack and take a bite, Now this is where the fix begin, hold the hammer above the N97 and then lift it up about 0.5metre then swing it ontop of the N97. Voila!! Once you've done so, your N97 white flash camera problem is now fixed forever.
Be warned, it will only worked once, as you can perminantly put it to off mode.
All the best, good luck
lol
This is my only way to fix this particular problem, other wise change your camera

Camera flash problem :(

Hello out there, I need advice on help on this:-
I'm having problem with my pictures when using flash, it becomes blurry like smoky look cause by the flash. This only happens when I use a case. The case I'm using is the one I love the most. Hoping that I can fix this by adding something around my flash?
I dont wish to change my case and wish to find a solution to this.
As I know a lot people who are using iPhone 4 black or white is having blurry pictures when u use flash on by wearing a case (cases that are designed to have a just-nice cut for the back camera and flash).

I had the VERY same problem. Got a new case for Christmas and it wasn't until I saw your post that I thought to test it out. Night & Day! With the new case I have zero issues with a smokey/foggy flash result. Sorry to say, I really think it's the case and trying to find a work-around might just be more trouble. Won't bother telling you the case I had . . . it was crap. My new case is an Incepio, two part, snap on type. Good luck.

D6633 Camera Flash Problem

Hi all,
My new D6633 (Z3 Dual) has a real problem using the flash in low light.
I seem to be getting light leakage onto the lens
I do have Ghost Armor protective film on tha back of the phone, though this has now been refitted 3 times and looks perfect to my eye.
I am attaching a pic of the camera lens, so that it can be compared to other Z3 handsets.
Also, is there any protective film over the lens and flash itself? I didn't remove any, but cant really tell whether anything is fitted.
Anyone got any thoughts/suggestions??

@Gadgetnutter you should post some photos of both devices, also let us know which camera settings are set

CAMERA FLASH PROBLEM WITH E63

How to stop N78 camera from flashing?

Hi. Even though I disable the camera flash, it still makes a small flash when taking a photo. How do you stop that from happening?

Hi jjooo7
Do you mean the way that LED is used for focusing and to respect peoples privacy? It's not as bright as when it's being used as a flash.

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal

Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

N97/FW21: is a camera flash fix included?

I'm about to return my N97 to Nokia, as they haven't been able to fix a flash flooding problem in the camera. Now with the new 2.1 FW I think the software is trying to compensate for the flood light, but the physiological problem is still there, resulting in lost contrast and sharpens, when the flash light bounces between the lenses.
My question: is FW21 trying to address the flash problem or is it just a coincidence the pictures are now slightly better / less horrible?
Helsinki, N97 White gone to recycling, now trying N97Mini...

Nokia never releases any detailed changelog for their fw's, so it's hard to know. But the problem is hardwarerelated and I guess it's a big job to cover that flaw.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Do you have any cover or similar on the phones backside? In that case, try to remove it and see if you get a better photo.
Please also note that if you take a picture to close to an object with a blank or white surface the flash may reflect back into the camera. Do you get the same picture quality with the flash if you take a photo from a longer distance or on another object?

Camera flash disabled due to heat issue

I left my iPhone 4 charging for about 3 hours until it was fully charged. I went to take a picture and the camera flash switch had a warning symbol. When I clicked it, it stated that my flash was disabled due to excessive heat. I quit the camera app and reopened it and the flash was working fine afterwards.( note the phone did not feel hot whatsoever.) Should I be worried about this. There was no overheating warning on the lock screen just in the camera app.
Thanks.

This is a bug in the 4.3.1 software as shown in this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13303571&#13303571
Every iphone does this since 4.3.1. I even verified it on my phone so it is a software problem only.
