Hi,
Whenever i use xenon flash in K790 under low light conditions .. all i get is the light from the flash !! the places where flash didnt reach comes out dark which inturn cuts the natural light. Why???? This was not the case with led lights

Because the exposure time of the camera is set to be really really small when the flash fires. Otherwise, the objects you want to take a pic of would collect too much light and would appear.. um... white.

You can't. It's not a malfunction.
You'd be able to see the background only when there's strong ambient light (i.e. broad daylight).

People should have original camera drivers on the forum. Just ask around.

Oh, dude, if you're still following this, I found a solution to your problem. Turning on Twilight Portrait mode increases the exposure time and lets in more ambient light. You should try it. It works wonders.

The problem with the dark background is that the xenon flash is not strong enough. You would need a kind of super trouper flash like the photographers use in their studios to acheive that effect. I remember once, while we were watching an eclipse (or at least partly eclipse, i.e. when the earth partly shades the moon from the sun) when someone tried to photograph the event with a Kodak Instamatic camera with an X-cube flash. I wonder what they were thinking, should the flash lighten up the surface of the moon, or what?
I have found that many times, it's better to turn the flash off, since the photo sensor is sensible enough for the natural light.

You can backup camera driver using XS++ (for CID52 or lower, phones) or jdflasher (for CID53 phones)... Use the FSX (on XS++) and BFS, OFS option (on jdflasher) to access the file. Camera driver is located in ifs/settings/camera...

You need the camdriver0.dat file.
