Summary
The flashMode property value is a string that defines how the flash, if any, is to be used. When set, its new value must be chosen from the list of options specified by CameraCapabilities.flashModes.
Syntax
var flash = instanceOfCameraControl.flashMode
Value
Return a string representing the current flash mode. The default value is auto if the device has a flash, none otherwise.
Example
var options = {
camera: navigator.mozCameras.getListOfCameras()[0]
};
function onSuccess( camera ) {
var capabilities = camera.capabilities;
if (capablities.flashModes.indexOf('off') > -1) {
camera.flashMode = 'off';
}
};
navigator.mozCameras.getCamera(options, onSuccess)
Specification
Not part of any specification; however, this API should be removed when the WebRTC Capture and Stream API has been implemented.
