Video recording flash not working

[Nitin Londhe]

Video recording flash is not working. But Camera photo capture flash is working.

Camera version 1.3.0-beta01

   val recorder = Recorder.Builder()
            .setQualitySelector(QualitySelector.from(Quality.HIGHEST,
                FallbackStrategy.higherQualityOrLowerThan(Quality.SD)))
            .build()
        videoCapture = VideoCapture.withOutput(recorder)

mCamera = cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
                this, cameraSelector, preview, imageCapture, videoCapture)

Hi,

Thanks for the question. What do you mean by "video recording flash"? Do you want to turn on torch while recording? Or do you want to take picture with flash while a video recording is in-progress?

Hi!,

I actually want to turn on the flash or keep it on auto mode while recording video. as well as I wanted to add shutter sound while taking pictures.

Could you please help me with that ASAP?

Thanks.
Nitin

To be clear, you want to apply the flash (torch) to a video recording right? To do that, you may use CameraControl.enableTorch to turn on torch before/after the recording is started.

As for shutter sound, unfortunately CameraX doesn't support playing a sound while taking pictures. You may play the sound in your application before calling ImageCapture.takePicture or after receiving ImageCapture.OnImageCapturedCallback depending on the intended user experience.
