Hi, if you use the Picture Snapshot and Video Snapshot, it is taking a screenshot directly from the OpenGL surface. This means that photo and video are taken much faster, but the Android camera was never actually ordered to take anything, thats why you see no flash. If you want all the camera functionalities you must use the takePicture and recordVideo (no snapshot) versions.

Thanks buddy for clearing that up but that also means with takePicture()/Video we will not be - able to show the watermark.

According to the documentation watermark only works when using snapshot. Anyway, you can manually attach your watermark(bitmap) overlay into the picture using a canvas. And for watermark in video I highly recommend using LiTr. We use it in production for overlay bitmap, gif, and stickers in our videos and works like a champ.
