flashModeChanged()

Detailed Description

This type allows you to operate the camera flash hardware and control the flash mode used. Not all cameras have flash hardware (and in some cases it is shared with the torch hardware).

It should not be constructed separately, instead the flash property of a Camera should be used.

 Camera {
     id: camera

     exposure.exposureCompensation: -1.0
     flash.mode: Camera.FlashRedEyeReduction
 }

Property Documentation

mode : enumeration

This property holds the camera flash mode.

The mode can be one of the following:

Value	Description
Camera.FlashOff	Flash is Off.
Camera.FlashOn	Flash is On.
Camera.FlashAuto	Automatic flash.
Camera.FlashRedEyeReduction	Red eye reduction flash.
Camera.FlashFill	Use flash to fillin shadows.
Camera.FlashTorch	Constant light source. If supported, torch can be enabled without loading the camera.
Camera.FlashVideoLight	Constant light source, useful for video capture. The light is turned on only while the camera is active.
Camera.FlashSlowSyncFrontCurtain	Use the flash in conjunction with a slow shutter speed. This mode allows better exposure of distant objects and/or motion blur effect.
Camera.FlashSlowSyncRearCurtain	The similar mode to FlashSlowSyncFrontCurtain but flash is fired at the end of exposure.
Camera.FlashManual	Flash power is manually set.

ready : bool

This property indicates whether the flash is charged.

supportedModes : list<FlashMode>

This property holds the supported flash modes of the camera. If the list only contains Camera.FlashOff, no flash is supported.

 Camera {
     id: camera
     flash {
         onSupportedModesChanged {
             if (flash.supportedModes.length == 1) {
                 // no flash supported
             } else {
                 // some flash is supported
             }
         }
     }
 }

This property was introduced in Qt 5.9.
