Reduce camera flash brightness?

[xanderharris86]

So I'm one of those losers who likes to take pictures of my food and drink and post it on social media. I'm also not an asshole who likes to blind the entire bar or restaurant with my flash going off when I take these pictures. I was wondering if there's a way to edit the camera flash brightness (maybe to 50% of the intensity?) so that I can still take a lit picture without making everyone within a mile of me hate my guts for taking a picture. At this point my work-around is to tuck a piece of napkin in my case over the flash, but it's kind of a pain, and looks ridiculous.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Why we don't have flash brightness adjustment on all camera apps is beyond me, since with leds you can just decrease the power to the leds to reduce brightness. Honestly though, if you set your flash to 50%, then all your other pictures needing it would come out under exposed, so I'd just use your napkin for now.
