How To Disable Flash On Your Android Phone’s Camera

Smartphone flashes are a simple, cheap solution to this inherent problem in photography. Their sole purpose is to emit a short burst of bright light when you release the shutter. It simply gives you and those around you the feeling that a picture was just taken.

Using a camera flash is an inevitable part of being a photographer, especially since photography is mainly concerned with light. Every professional photographer will let you know that lighting is as vital as composition if you want a decent shot. The higher the control you have over lighting, the better the image you will have at the end of the day. Most times, this might mean decreasing the amount of light.

However, even if the flash on your camera is there to assist you, it could add excessive light to the foreground of your image and tamper with a subject’s features or aid the creation of a redeye effect. And as you know already, if you need to take a picture secretly, that bright flash will only expose you.

Also, a lot of museums let you take pictures, but only with the flash disabled since the intensity of the light produced can damage their artwork. Rules must be respected there, so you do not have a choice. See How To Disable Flash On Your Android Phone’s Camera:
