Hi,

Yep, you got that right so here is what the permissions are used for:
- camera related is actaully the one really required for flashlight
- all network related permissions are for third-party banner/interstitial ads integration (e.g. Admob, Appbrain)
- audio related are for playing Morse code SOS sound signals
- prevent form sleeping is used when the flashlight is on to prevent it going off if for example device will dim the screen after 2 min

Anyway if you just need a flashlight with no extra features and no ads you should just look for one with "Camera" related permission.

Thanks :)
