Android/Camera: What parameter/conditions affect FLASH_MODE_AUTO to flash?
<p>I'm setting flash mode to <code>AUTO</code> in my app, but flash does not kick off under the same conditions as under the official Android Camera app. In my app it kick off only under substantially less light.</p>

<p>What other parameter could have an affect on when flash should kick off?</p>

<p>Also, as a follow up question: is there a way to read the lighting conditions (let's say, when the camera focuses), so that I can determine <code>FLASH_MODE_ON</code> or <code>FLASH_MODE_OFF</code> programmatically myself?</p>

<p>I'm testing on Galaxy S III / latest CM10.</p>
