[QUOTE="anderssonj.com, post: 300282, member: 23856"] If the light stays on after you've closed the app that uses the camera, that could mean that 1) the camera and, hence, the led, is still on (but the app doesn't deallocate it before it crashes) - which should mean that any app you open won't have access to the cam, or 2) the app "closed" the camera but not the led. If case 2) is true, that means that you could write a program that records the camera input without activating the led... I'm not paranoid, just curious. ;) [/QUOTE]
