Public bug reported:

When using the camera app the screen flashes bright white - this was
implemented for illuminating your face when using the camera pointing
towards you https://bugs.launchpad.net/camera-app/+bug/1124574

However, when using the camera pointing away from you, and when using
the camera with "flash" disabled, the screen still flashes bright white.

This has caused a museum I visited that has a ban on flash photography
to think I was still using flash even though it was specifically
disabled - the screen flash was bright enough to be "disturbing" what
they didn't want exposed to bright light, or at least catch enough
attention to be confused with having the flash on.
