# supportedFlashModes

The flash settings this capture output currently supports.

```
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSArray<NSNumber *> * supportedFlashModes;
```

## Discussion

To set the flash mode for a capture, set the [`flashMode`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/flashMode) property of your photo settings object to one of the [`AVCaptureDevice.FlashMode`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice/FlashMode-swift.enum) values listed in this array.

This property supports key-value observing.
