Abstract: A method for taking photo with an extension flash module of a mobile device is provided in the present invention. The mobile device operates in coordination with an extension flash module to achieve fill light while taking photo. The method includes the following steps: detecting a specific event before a flashable period. The flashable period starts from the time at which a last row of photo sensors begins exposure to the time at which a first row of photo sensors ends exposure.

Abstract: An extension flash module is provided in the present invention. The extension flash module adopts xenon flash light and is for attaching on the headphone jack of a mobile device. When the extension flash module operates, the voltage output from the headphone connector is boosted to provide a high voltage to the extension flash module. When the high voltage is charged to a rate voltage, the extension flash module sends a charging complete signal to the mobile device through the microphone terminal of the headphone connector. When shutter instruction is performed, the mobile device triggers the extension flash module to flash.
