It does "flash" when you take the picture, just doesn't really flash its gets brighter. I assume the reason it comes on like that has something to do with focusing or light metering. I haven't found anything that makes it just flash, like completely off until you hit the button then a bright flash. which I'm assuming is what you're looking for. BigD posted an app that will give you control of the LED so you can use it like a flashlight. There is another program that does this called Nillisco, which is what I use. Didn't like nuelight personally.
