Asus Vivotab RT: flash doesn't work!


Hello,

I have a problem with my LED flash.


4 days ago I've bought Asus Vivotab RT. I've run it, updated and installed some apps from a Store. 

I also made a few photos in dark to try my LED diode and flash. Everything worked fine.


On Thursday Microsoft released an Windows 8.1 RT update. I couldn't wait for install it.


After the installation my OS works fine but the only problem was that I had to reinstall apps from Store because all my apps had been in Czech and changed language to English.

But yesterday I wanted to take a photo at night and there was no flash, my photo was dark. I tried different apps: from Microsoft  - Camera and original from Asus - Asus Camera. I've reinstall Asus Camera many times but when I press More options there is no Asus option for flash or diode and no special effects as sepia or contrast as it had been.


I've searched on Google for similar problems and the conclusion mostly was that Asus or Microsoft has to release an update. Those questions were half year old so I'm not sure how it is with updates now.


Has anyone same problems or experience with it? What shall I do?

Do I have to return my tablet and ask for a new one?


Thank's and respond please!

Good News! I just got another email from Asus about the flash.

Quote:  We have a fix for the camera flash slated to be released this week. So if you haven't updated yet, and was concerned due to the camera issue, we have sorted it out and the camera will now work 100% with Windows 8.1 on the VivoTab RT!
