I have a flow which takes a picture when ever I return to home screen. Relevant settings are front camera, no user interface and flash off. Despite the flash being set off, I have noticed it flashing two or three times during a month I've been testing this flow. It is very rare considering that it's triggered about 20-50 times a day and that's why I can't give any instructions to re-produce the glitch. The flash is much quicker than normal camera flash, as if it suddendly remembers that it shouldn't do that and turns off.
Logs doesn't show anything relevant so I can't give any more info on that. Just thought to inform you to check whether the fault is in AM, camera API of even something else..
Possible glitch in action Take Picture

Re: Possible glitch in action Take Picture
I did not obey this problem yet but I'm not taking pictures frequently. Could you please enable Debug Log and Log to SD card, wait until the issue happens again and then send the log to me? Maybe I can find the cause or a hint in the log.
Please also try some different short delays in option Delay to fix black picture. This option slightly delays the picture taking process and with a lot of luck could help in this case too.

Re: Possible glitch in action Take Picture
Seems like this is not caused by the action or AM afterall. It just happened, when the flow was not running. I'm out of ideas of how could I look for the problematic app. Is there any way to detect from logs, when some app accesses the flash? If that's possible, I could write a monitoring flow to catch the root of the problem.
