I thought the whole point of these camera LEDs was to have them wired to/through the power to the camera, so they are always on when the camera is getting power, no matter what.

Having the LED control exposed through the firmware completely defeats this.

Sure, for a brand headquartered in Cupertino they might design it that way. But this one is a Beijing brand.
