You can do so by using the following steps:

1. Open the Camera app. By default, it uses the rear camera.

   • : this icon will display when the flash is set to on.
   • : this icon will display when the flash is set to off.
   • : this icon will display when the flash is set to auto which means your phone will automatically fire the flash based on the shooting conditions.
   

   As the example, we'll set the flash settings to ON.
