The feature

Flash indicator

Immich largely got its UI from the old Google Photos UI, before it got trashed. This gave it a decent, timeless UI but it missed one valuable feature: displaying the presence or absence of a camera flash. To their credit, both Samsung and Apple Photos include this feature.

Implementation

Above is an example implementation for this feature. Notice the inverted color scheme for the camera icon. This would be the new default icon for the camera, similar to the existing mobile icon. It would be in place if there was no flash-related metadata or if the metadata said the flash was off. If the flash is on, the icon could be the current icon. Alternatively (for easier understanding) the flash icon could be the default icon with a lightning bolt inside.

I would caution against having a separate icon for flash in the metadata even though that's what Lightroom does; many lens names and camera names are long and between people, location, and camera settings the metadata pane can be quite long already. But standardizing the camera between web and mobile and using it to display flash metadata could work.
