Recording video with flash on?

[frunkiss]

Am I an idiot? I try to turn on the flash while recording video but the icon stays faded out. I dont see any options in the settings. Can somebody help?
I really hope i can use the dual LEDs for video.

I didn't think that could be right, so I tried it just now on my phone. You seem to be right, doesn't look like theres flash on video.

Uh oh... anyone else?
I'm sure this can be changed with an update if there's enough demand for it. I don't see why the icon would even be there in video mode. I don't see why have 2 LEDs and not be able to use them in one mode but not the other.

I was surprised about this as well. I could use the LED from the lg dare on video mode and it was really awesome for a flashlight. Couldn't imagine the power of these two.

I kind of found a way around it. I downloaded the app MotoTorch LED. You can turn the flash on and then turn on the video camera on you phone and it will keep the LED on. Not perfect but it works for meow. ;-)

good to know there's a work around for now.
hopefully a software update fixes this though

Okay, that one works? Cuz I know that other light apps don't work with the incredible

That app isn't working for me over here :-/

MotoTorch LED not working for me either.

I actually found it doesn't work for me either. :-/ I had a Motorola Droid before (I sold it to get the Incredible) and that is how I worked around it on the Motorola Droid. I just assumed it would work on the Incredible. Also, I have been unable to find an app in the market that does work the LED light.

I'd sign a petition to have the flash LED enabled for night video. Surprised we have to ask for it, though. hehehe

 

[SpartanDroid]

Where is the petition? I want to sign because that is something they need to put in the froyo update

actually just went to Cnet.com and watched the quick review of android 2.2 aka froyo and it looks like it will include an update to be able to use the led flash in video mode. . .=)

 

[frunkiss]

Link please?
