Hi guys,

so I'm a new user and have a question that will no doubt be quickly answered by someone who knows more than I do. My google searches have so far only turned up hundreds of reviews, but no actual information.

When I use the camera function on my Desire I have the ability to turn the flash for the camera on or off. When using video however, the flash icon has a cross through it and I am unable to turn it on. Is there a way to turn on the LED/flash while recording video in low light situations?

Thanks in advance

 

Should I assume that no one knows how to do this? Or is it such a stupid question it doesn't warrant a response?

 

Thanks for the link Yenzehn, but I actually downloaded the exact same app a few days ago hoping I could use it in conjunction with the camera. Like you, though, as soon as the camera opens up, the light turns off.

I guess the main reason for my confusion is that there's the icon for the flash (and even the button for it) sitting right on the display. Surely they wouldn't include the button if it was useless...

 

Cool. I'm happy to wait a bit if that's the case.

Yen, the only reason I think the button is useless is because it's a digital button. If there's no way to turn the flash on during video recording, why bother having the button there? In my mind, at least, it looks like a function that can be enabled. If the button wasn't there at all I'd simply assume it wasn't an available function.

But as I've mentioned, I'm more than happy to see that this is all going to be rectified with froyo...
