Smart Flashlight (v1.5) manual

Hello. I'm the chief developer of Smart tools co.,

Smart Flashlight is in the set 5th of Smart Tools collection. It is using camera LED and screen. I tried to make it simple and easy. Recently, several users are requesting more features (such as Morse code, SOS, strobe). I'll consider them one by one.
