I've got a problem with turning on flashlight in camera mode using AT commands. I`ve read official SE AT commands guide. Then I tried to turn on flashlight on my S700i (R3B032) by AT command :F - turn on flashlight:

AT*ekey=1,":D" ,0
OK - we are in desktop
AT*ekey=1,":C" ,0
OK - camera button is pressed
AT*ekey=1,":C" ,0
OK - release camera button, so we are in camera mode, then
AT*ekey=1,":F" ,2
OK - Press and release light button. Nothing happens. Also tried this:
AT*ekey=1,":F" ,0
OK - press light button
AT*ekey=1,":F" ,1
OK - release light button. Nothing happens again, tried this:
AT*ekey=1,":L" ,2
ERROR - maybe ":L" only for K700i?

Where can I be mistaken or where can I misuse :F key?

BTW what AT*ELOO stands for? I tried to turn it on and off when sending commands above, in any case the result is the same.

When you say Flashlight, do you mean to take a picture or so walk around and illuminate the area?

Either way, why are you bothering with AT commands when you can simply use the menu? Your way seems longer and not very practical.

I try to control the phone and it's camera from my computer via BT as it is done in a great program "K700 Webcam" (k700.hitziger.net). But in its latest version flashlight doesn't turn on though it works in K700. It is made by simply pressing "5" before taking a shot. But in S700 keypad is not available in camera mode, so AT*ekey=1,"5",2 command or something like this doesn't work at all.
