iPod 5 - Camera flash #30270 06/08/14 02:51 PM

OP ryck Joined: Aug 2009 Likes: 14 Okanagan Valley	My wife's iPod had camera flash working well simply by using a quick touch on the shutter button. However, it has mysteriously stopped performing that way and now there is no flash. She does not think she touched any settings. I've hunted for some setting to restore the function but found none. A system reset has also been done but to no avail. Any other ideas? ryck "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" The Doobie Brothers iMac (Retina 5K, 27", 2020), 3.8 GHz 8 Core Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 2667 MHz DDR4 OS Sonoma 14.4.1 Canon Pixma TR 8520 Printer Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner c/w VueScan software TM on 1TB LaCie USB-C

The default is Auto which simply means the iPad will check the light and only flash if it decides the flash is needed. Off turns the flash off altogether. If the flash is set to On that disables HDR. The reason is HDR takes multiple exposures and chooses the best of the bunch. The flash cannot respond fast enough to keep up with the multiple exposures so when the flash is used HDR is turned off.
