2. Improve lighting

Are you in a low light environment? Don't worry. It is possible to activate the smartphone's flash and make the video better lit. The icon is available on the recording screen and appears only when using the camera that has the feature.

That is, if your device has only a flash on the rear camera, then see the icon only when it is activated. If the front camera also has a flash, then the option will also be displayed.

3. Explore the editing features
