Visible Light Camera Module (VLCM) | 5 |
Using Torch Control |
When working in darker areas, you can enable the torch function to provide better lighting. If the flash is not enabled, but the torch function is, the torch remains on during image capture. The torch operates at approximately 50% power continuously; the flash operates at full power the instant the image is captured.
Note
The torch can be enabled at the same time the flash is enabled. If both functions are enabled, the torch operates continuously, while the flash comes on during the image capture. The torch enabled function times out after 60 seconds. Limit torch use to save battery power.
Assign the Torch function to a programmable button (see Chapter 2). Then, to cycle between torch on and torch off, tap A,B, or Cas needed.
