When I switch out of the automatic ISO mode, the flash menu settings disappear. Is it possible to use the flash/torch when manually setting the exposure (ISO & shutter speed)?
I am on a Nexus 5. Open Camera v1.37 with Camera2 API enabled.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Note that the flash menu setting disappear only in Camera 2 mode api, if you select out this mode, flash menu will stay, a least on my smartphone
Comment in source talk about trouble with flash function in Camera 2 mode api in manual mode
I have restored the code which allows the menu and command no flash mode in this mode
but On my Galaxy A5 2017, the flash is still not fired (in forced on mode)
only flash torch mode seem working, I didn't find in the code other selection, I think that it is the Camera 2 mode api which is bugged (even in auto mode, the flash is fired but with not appropriate parameter setting)
I think that I'll abandon the Camera mode API except for HDR mode, using normal mode and fixing ISO to 800 which has no visible default against iso 100 and which allow higher speed.

Flash is currently not supported for manual ISO with Camera2 I'm afraid. It's on my todo for future release.
Thank you for the clarification, mark. And to danielfr40 for the investigation.
Any update on this?
I saw other camera like Footej can toggle flash with manual exposure
