I dont know if this is posted or anything but just figured out a kool trick with the awesome power of multitasking!
1. grab a torch app (N1 Torch)
2. turn the torch on from widget
3. load camera app and switch to video and enjoy! ^_^
Nice! Thanks
It doesn't work with the Desire camcorder (just shuts off) although it's fine with the stock one.
If you have the Desire camcorder, then a workaround is to install Qik from the market, and then you can use the LED flash with the Qik camcorder.
nice tip, thanks!
Sorry still haven't tried that desire camera yet but this works on stock camera

I tried to take a picture to a document in a completly dark place , and I couldn´t focus, i tried with default sense camera, camera zoom and camera 360, in my previous phone, samsung i900 it switch on the flash while focus an then took the picture.. i cant do it with hd2.. any help will be highly appreciated..
t seems that anyone ere likes to take pictures in the dark)
Yeah i know where your coming from, anywhere it's very dark or very bright it's impossible to see when your trying to focus,i was on the beach today with my son and taking some snaps of him playing and i couldn't see with the sun but thankfully the photos turned out ok but with my old digital camera i was able to see a lot more.
Just take the picture. The flash will come on and the picture will be able to be seen.
This is something I was stuck at too. Normally, on a phone with flash, in the dark, trying to focus would temporarily activate the flash to let the phone see where to focus, and then fix the focus on the spot and shoot the picture.
My HD2 won't do that. Just one of the little things no one thought of.
use the torch app widget to flick the torch on, it will; stay on when you jump to camera and focus will work.

pro-hdr-camera has a torch option in the flash settings which keeps the led on so you can focus in complete darkness, bought it just for that feature. also take pretty decent shots.

i dont have such an icon in the normal video recorder app.. ??
the normal flash works fine in photos and if i access it without the camera with another app it works too.
also if i take screenshots they are always kind of red :-/
this is the camera app installed on my phone:

ther is no video light option in stock camera app. You should download lgCamera from market. It has "torch" function. just set video to 1280-720 , h.263, 5 mbit, and then you have smoother camera with video light
Examples of lgCamera with LED video light (Torch mode)
allright, did that allready and works fine.
thank you!
I would like to know which cam app do you think that get the best from ours U8800-U8800Pro?

Don't know about stock rom but in cm7 I use volume key to focus and when released it takes photo. Very handy, almost like normal camera.

With the stock rom and the stock camera app its not possible to do this!
Its one of the many features of the cm7 rom that i missed at the stock rom but the Fm radio is a big disadvantage for the time!
Camera ZOOM FX was 0.10$ until yesterday. It is a full blown camera app, with all the button customization you could imagine.
from TT ideos x5
After trying some hours the zoom fx must say that its much better that the standard app!!
First i set the button to the Volume up button and the only bug is that every time you take a picture you hear the sound from the normal use of the button (ringer volume)
Now i will try the camera 360 because i forgot it yesterday an choose one of them for the everyday use!
I really like Lightbox as it comes with a number of filters to give the photos a nice effect. I don't even use the stock application anymore.
i'll use lgcamera for video recording because you can choose AAC audio encoder witk 48kHz and 128Kbps. Very good audio quality.
Using the current v6 5.1.24.Still the camera is bugged.Pictures not clear and flash isn't working fine sometimes working and sometimes not.same happens with 3rd party apps like camera fx and all.Any fix?
Torch is not been fixed!!!!
I try beta 5.1.20. Pictures is fine, video too, but flash not work good
if you are fond using manual mode in your V5....
then u will find it very difficult to set the exposure manually as there is no option for this ....
it can only be done while focusing that too very difficult.....
..
but overall picture quality is slightly better than V5...
miui 6 camera ui is appealing and pretty fast for insta capture. Love it
Anyone who is able to record videos with flash on in dark, using the stock camera app ?? anyone ?? I tried many time, with flash on, but it simply turns off the flash after focusing. Any knowledgeable insight or help will be appreciated !
I think it's a bug relating to our camera app... Try to clear cache & data of camera app... Or u can use any other app (like camera 360) in which u can make videos with light on.
Just switch off auto flash light. When open camera you can see four buttons. Click on 2nd button to change auto flash.
No bro... it got nothing with auto flash setting... it's a bug in the camera app (no matter wht setting u put, the video camera just turns off the light after a few second when video recording starts)
i don't have any problem like that. My stock camera is working fine in recording videos with auto flash..... u can use google camera app for this bcoz i had problem with photo capturing and google camera app solved it.

I checked the video camera again. When I start video camera with Auto Flash on the flash light turns off after few seconds and with Auto Flash off flash light lights continuously till video camera stopped. I don't know whether it is a defect? I have installed Lenovo camera but this option is not available in video camera.
flashed the kernel from this page & camera app issues seems to be fixed
