Why Does Only One Flash Lamp Turn On in OPPO Find X9 Series

The OPPO Find X9 Series uses a dual-lamp flash module designed to provide more accurate lighting depending on the shooting environment. Instead of activating both lamps at the same time, the device intelligently selects the appropriate light source based on how the flash or fill light is being used. This behavior is normal and part of the phone’s optimized camera design.

How the Dual-Lamp System Works

The dual flash on the OPPO Find X9 Series includes:

• An equalizing light – provides evenly distributed, softer illumination.

• A spotlight – delivers stronger, more focused lighting for distant or zoomed-in subjects.

The system automatically switches between these two lamps to produce the best lighting results for your scene.

When Only One Lamp Turns On

Using the Camera with Flash or Fill Light

The phone chooses a lamp based on the zoom level:

Below 2x zoom

• The equalizing light is used for both flash and fill light.

• This provides softer, more natural illumination for close-range photos.

Above 2x zoom

• The spotlight is used for flash and fill light.

• This stronger, focused beam offers better reach and clarity for zoomed-in subjects.
