Setting camera flash to "auto" causes the flashlight to blink on and off continously, even when a shot is not initiated

Expected behavior

The expected function when the (camera flash) is set to auto is to determine if the light produced by an external source is enough to take a shot or shoot a scene.

Hence, when the shot is initiated by a click on the center circular button, the flash automatically flashes on if the scene or object is in the dark or in need of more lighting, but stays off when the light from an external source (sun or daylight) is sufficient.

Actual behavior

Setting the camera flash to auto causes the flash light to continuously go on and off on a target, even without initiating a shot.
