How is this case for taking FLASH pictures in the dark????? I am asking about the Orange and Black Fake outterbox camo case.

Horrible, also, The paint chips off the case. And it took forever to get it from China.

I'm not sure I never got to use the case...it was warped so it would not secure to my phone correctly. I do not recommend the case the plastic cover was too big and is hard to type.

Yes, I'm aware of the underwater case. Also, the one from Ikelite is much better. I'm more concerned with how the pictures turn out underwater with only the underwater case (w/out the strobe)?

As far as I can tell, the case does not affect the flash. The opening surrounding the camera is slightly beveled away from the camera. It is also the softer case, so it's not very reflective.

I don't ever use my flash, but I did snap a few test shots and a gray gaze is present. Love the case, but I never use my flash...

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature.

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

Very good observation! The area around the flash is the same color as the plastic mount to hold the phone. With the Black leather it's black, in the red and brown, it's white. I have the brown case and there is definitely reflection off the case. I took a black sharpie and blacked the inside part around the flash. Not noticeable with the phone in the case and eliminates most of the bounce back. However, I think this is a problem with leather cases generally where the flash is as much as 1/8" deep in the case. There will be some bounce-back against the edge of the case. Had the same problem with a prior 4S case (which was black) and it took me a couple days to figure out that was the problem.

I've noticed the weird glow when using the flash isn't as bad with this case! Sure it's not perfect, cause no case is but I think it's somewhat better.

No. The case is far enough away from the actual lens of the camera to not interfere with it. It DOES change the throw pattern of the flash (noticed really only when using as a flashlight) in that it narrows the spread of the flashlight just a bit. It does not IMO really reduce any functionality of the flashlight it just makes the spread of the light drop off a bit more sharply around the edges that the light without the case. I haven't noticed this as a problem with the light being used as flash for the camera but in theory I suppose it could if you took some pics of calibration charts in the dark or something.

I love this. For the money it is great. I think it works better with the flash. (I only used with the flash for readings.) Ambient light, I am not so sure. :-)

The LED in the front is pretty damn bright by itself as you can see in the pic taken at broad daylight (ignore my horrible cable management).https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1.0-9/1538672_10153763557600501_1188223533_n.jpgHOWEVER, once the case is closed, because of the double layer black meshing in the front, the brightness is reduced to a soothing blue. Even at night you can't see it with your eyes closed pressed against the case. lol

The flash does not work well at all with this case. But that is my only Complaint about the case.

I haven't noticed any interference with the flash. That was one of my main concerns when I ordered the case and I did a fair amount of low light testing with it to confirm that it doesn't affect the flash. At least not in enough of a way that it's noticeable.

I have this camera and LOVE it!! Still learning about it.This will sound crazy but, I have taken pictures in low lighting in the SCN mode set on portrait WITH the flash OFF...as most places/concert halls don't like you flashing your cam on everyone as it can be highly distracting.My pics are pretty clear so I say just play around with the different settings and you can figure out what works for you. Works for me! I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera. The cutout for the flash in no way hinders the ability to shoot your photo and they look just as good as if you'd taken them without the case. It took me a short period of time to figure out exactly how I needed to hold the phone for the photo as the front flap is hanging down on a landscape shot and to the side on a portrait shot. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. Beyond that, I am truly enjoying not having to carry a wallet. If I have my phone, I have what I need. It seems to be holding up quite well and I recommend this case. I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera.

It comes with a waterproof case like the GoPro, but I've never used the case. I'm using it without the case, hanging upside down from my semi windshield as a dash cam. It doesn't work well at night, but if there is any ambient light left, it does okay. Runs continuously and no problems so far.

Yes it's great in low light. I've taken pictures in pitch black with the flash and they turned out great!
