Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-6696:
--------------------------------------

We are trying to follow the media capture spec, so if it's in there, we could implement it. Which media capture spec to follow is another thing altogether (the one we use is old and based off an older spec).

> The capture video plugin is great, but there are usecases where the default option for the camera flash mode does not suffice.  A lot of the time, the user would prefer the flash be off unless manually set otherwise.
> An option to set the flash mode would be great (right now, I have to patch the plugin for all platforms manually).  The following enums would be required:
> * flash on
> * flash off
> * flash auto
> e.g. for iphone see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIImagePickerController_Class/UIImagePickerController/UIImagePickerController.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIImagePickerController/cameraFlashMode
> As an alternative: If having an option to expose this is not preferable, it's also possible 
> * to change the default from "flash auto" to "flash off", or
> * to start by default with "flash off" and save the value the user set last in the app.
