use the camera flash on your iPhone

The Camera app can not only take photos, it can take flash photos when there's not enough light for anything else. Make no mistake — mobile flash photography still stinks no matter the quality of the tiny elements involved. However, whether you have a single or dual LED on your iPhone camera, they can help you capture important moments at low-light levels that would otherwise be impossible. So, to get the best photo you can, regardless of whether the you'e facing twilight to incandescence, tungsten or florescent, something cool blue or warm yellow, or any combination in between, you can set up and use the iPhone flash.

The True Tone flash

While iPhones have had LED flashes for a while, Apple has recently upped the ante with a new, duel LED flash dubbed True Tone. It's no brighter than previous iPhone flashes, but it does do a better job at matching the color of surrounding lighting, resulting in slightly better photos.

How to set the flash on your iPhone camera

1. Launch the Camera app from your iPhone home screen
2. Tap the Flash button
3. Set it to On when you want to use it.
4. Set it to Auto, optionally, if you want to let your iPhone decide when to use it.
