If you tried using focus LED on subjects further than approximately 5 feet at night, it would be useless sometimes.

If you use this trick and use the Twilight Portrait profile, in most cases your phone will capture very good and clear pictures within 3-5 feet radius as the flash helps provide brightness and clarity while the profile settings improves light conditions at night making it an all-round snapshot profile to use... instead of having to fumble around looking for the best profile and settings; only to have the special moment gone.

Just tried this out, never managed to turn it off until now, cheers
the Twilight portrait works really well with this little trick as others just dun hv the setting for enough light reaching the sensor, therefore the images with the flash on would b like 'clear faces with nothing on the backgroud'. Should spread the word around for this, thanks again
