The HDR+flash mode pre-flash also helped with red-eye reduction, by constricting pupils.
So, it's nice that the UI reflects that the flash won't be enabled during exposure, but as a side effect it also breaks the most reliable method of getting good-quality indoor photos. The pre-flash helps with focus and red-eye, while HDR with no flash gets the best color. With the flash fully off it's harder to focus, and with the flash fully on the colors and lighting get weird. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to camera-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350958 Title: flash option should be disabled when selecting HDR Status in Camera App: In Progress Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products: New Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu RTM: New Bug description: HDR and Flash are mutually exlusive. If one is on the other has to be off. Currently you can enable both and it's confusing to the user that the flash won't work if HDR is on. We should update the UI to reflect that flash turns off when HDR is on.
