Bug Description

Description:
[camera app] screen should flash white when picture is taken with face cam

If it's dark the face cam takes pictures that are very dark, if the screen flashed white when taking a picture it would look better.

This has made a regression I believe.

A) If you disable the flash and are using the rear facing camera - the screen flashes towards you still

B) I have visited a Museum that disallows any flash photography, just the flashing of the screen was enough to get yelled at for using flash...

After testing this, flashing the screen is not timed with the activation of the camera, it lights up - but the camera misses that moment making the current flashing screen without purpose. My in the dark selfies were not improved with the current implementation.
