Vivo Tab RT - No flash when taking picture?

[graye]

I was playing around with the back-facing camera and noticed that I didn't get a flash when I took a picture in a dark room.

This happened with both the built-in app and the Asus app. I poked around the setting, and it appears as the flash was set on Auto

Can someone verify that the flash works on their unit?

I have yet to see a flash when taking a picture.

A shot in the dark here, But is there a option to turn on flash in the camera app...

Another shot in the dark here...get it? No flash? Shot in the dark?

Ya Ya, I know...not so funny when you're having trouble.
Maybe try manually fiddling with it?
I have the 201, but it should be close on yours...open the camera app, hit the wee slider buttons on the bottom.
You should be in options, the lightning bolt is the flash icon...click it and fiddle it from auto to on/off etc.
Shoot a few pics, see what happens...fiddle it back and forth again...then try a cold boot.
Dunno if it will help, perhaps the flash is shy/broken etc.

Cold boot (if you haven't done one).
Dock your tablet--if you have a dock, and unplug.
Turn off.
Restart by holding both Power + Volume down buttons...keep holding.
When the 4 icons appear on your screen, release...tablet will cold boot.

I'm having flash problems too. I bought mine at the Microsoft retail store, so my tab was lacking any of the Asus apps, I wonder if there's a driver or something I might need to download for the tab to recognize it has a flash.

I am having the same issue on my tablet. Can't force the flash either.

Did the update fix this Problem?

Did anyone send a notice to Asus about this.

The flash not working is due to the driver not being ready. We are working on a driver update that should fix the flash.
