As per the title, I don't have the option to use the flashlight when shooting video.

When using the video camera, I'm not offered any flash options, just a symbol labelled "Flash off" (lightning strike with diagonal line through it - a fixed setting).

Apparently, this was released in Aurajoki but I didn't have the option then. I have just updated to Fiskarsinjoki and the option is still not available (not that it was mentioned in release notes).

I thought removing and reinstalling jolla-camera may help, but it didn't. Why is my camera app missing this option?

Who voted down?, say why!, what's the point in down voting if you're not going to state why?....Jeeez, there really are some aholes about.

I totally agree. Downvoting an answer is one thing but downvoting a question? It just makes no sense at all!

Problem solved, after much debate, here and on TMO, phew!

One line command sorted it all, now I have the option to use the 'torch' when shooting video;

dconf reset -f /apps/jolla-camera/

Job done!
