Hi Ed, Thank you so much for these suggestions. I've been reviewing them and merging them in. Hopefully it should be live. I've included a thank you note too in the article.

Thank you for fixing this. Will this be available in the next version of Camera-X?
Regards

Hello, the fix would be in the next cut of the alpha release, it probably would happen around early June.

    Fix torch is unexpectedly closed after image capture issue
   
    The affected devices may close the torch if the still
    capture request contains the FLASH_MODE_TORCH option. And the
    torch will stay off even when the repeating request reports
    the flash mode is FLASH_MODE_TORCH.
   
    *) Create a Quirk for the devices encounter this issue
    *) Submit a single request to turn Torch Off, and then, the
    FLASH_MODE_TORCH option in the repeating request will turn it
    on again.
   
    Relnote: "Fixed ImageCapture takePicture method turns torch off on the reported devices."
