Steps
Open Camera from the app drawer
Swipe up to open the app drawer, then tap Camera.
Tap the settings gear
In Camera, tap the gear icon at the bottom left. The Photo settings sheet slides up.
Tap the flash-on icon
On the General tab, find the More light / Flash row — it reads None. Tap the flash-on (lightning bolt) icon on the right.
Confirm Flash is selected
The row now reads Flash and the bolt icon is highlighted; the flash symbol also appears in the viewfinder top bar.
Good to know
- This is the Camera app’s own Flash setting, not the Quick Settings flashlight tile — it controls the flash for photos, not the torch.
- The Flash row offers three icons: off, auto, and on (lightning bolt).
- The recording shows a real change: the row reads None with the off icon selected before the tap, and Flash with the bolt icon highlighted after it.
