Hi.. Yes, various forms of light if possible, its just that I've been checking the permissions of the apps 'am using & just wondered why a 'flash light app' needed to use the video? After I posted the msg realised the camera would be needed as a torch. Appreciate your quick reply, thx.

Hi the Sony SGP311 doesn't have Flash with camera so thats why I can't use the camera lens as a torch?

You are not using camera lens,you are using the flash of the camera.Yes,if the phone does not have camera flash,you cannot use the torch.

Hello, you can use apps that use your phone's screen as flashlight.

Such as this one

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.workpail.flashlight

But probably all those kind of apps needs some permission to keep phone awake.

If you don't want to give any permission and can't find an app

You can also use an all white background image

If your brightness levels are high or your auto brightness works fine it would provide enough luminance.

You can also download lit light bulb images from the Internet or you can just take a picture of a bright object and use that image as light.

Hope this helps.
