Camera light flashes

[al3xbr]

Hey guys,

I noticed that the blue camera indicator light flashes every minute or so. Did any of you notice that too, and does anyone have any guesses why it does that?

no, I didn't notice that, check if any new programs that you have installed recently that may use your camera. Take care of hack programs that may intrude your privacy

I think I found out the reason for that, actually. If in the Galaxy Settings the option "Smart dimming" (Has that always been there or did that come with an update?), which recognizes if you are currently looking at the display, is activated, then it activates the camera for a second before dimming to check if your face is there which causes the blue light to flash.
