P: Mobile: Flash Available while Shooting DNG on iPhone Xs

Hello, I'm using an iPhone Xs running iOS 12.1 with Lightroom Mobile 4.02.  I'm noticing that, when I shoot  DNG, the flash is off and the icon greyed out.  The flash is operating normally when shooting JPEG, and with the native iOS camera.

I tried resetting the phone and deleting/reinstalling Lightroom but no joy.  Is this normal behavior?

    It is this way on my iPhone 7 Plus.  I will have to check with the team to see if behavior changed for the iPhone X series.

    Rick, thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, the flash is NOT accessible in Automatic or Professional modes with DNG capture on.  It is accessible with Depth Capture (which is pretty nifty, BTW)...

    FredC - this is the current behavior. With the DNG capture, and HDR or Long Exposure selected the Flash is not accessible.  With DNG capture enabled, Automatic, Professional and Depth Capture have the ability to turn on or off the flash. 

    Is that how yours is working?
