does it interfere with the flash
490032
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.

In my experience, I haven't noticed any interference with the flash or the camera.

Yes. Pictures with flash are cleaner when the case is removed. However, this really only applies to close range (4 feet or less) in dark places (basement without light).

No idea. I bought it. Wasn't impressed. Plus flash didnt pop out consistently and returned it.

It does not effect the camera or flash at all. It takes perfect pictures and nothing is blocked. Love this case.

Yes but in that position, it prevents the flash from popping up. When I need the flash AND the GPS, I let the GPS hang by the side.

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

Yes it does. I've often turned off the flash because the camera is sensitive enough to do without it.

Hello - Based on the photo there is a cutout for the camera only. The protector should not affect the flash/sensor.

Case does not block the flash, dont worry man! I've taken many photos/videos with no issues. I love mine and recommend it.

Yes it will affect. Forget about flash when using this case. Or take the casing out when you need flash.

Only problem is whenever you are taking photos, you will have to take it out the case. Yes I think it's does prevent the flash. Not sure of the lining or scratching, but it's a nice case.

I just took a flash picture in an almost completely dark room and it looks great. On visual inspection of the 5S in the case, there does not appear to be any obstruction to the flash or aperture.

I have that flash and it does not interfere with the flash sensor as long as you mount the soft box correctly

In low light I am pretty sure it will interfere. But I've never noticed it.

Hi, The flash can be turned off in some settings (ie Intelligent Auto), but not in others (ie Background Defocus).

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.

No, it just keeps it out of the way. Can also just let it dangle if you want to use the flash.

Not at all in my experience. I can see it maybe interfering with flash but I haven't noticed anything like that either.
