Walt, I was wrong when I sadi green had replaced red - I was thinking of 2S,
not 4.

In old 4s, the viewfinder flash LED is powered by the camera batteries. 
There is no mod for it, as is found in the 2S. Flash ready LED in the 4T is
a little green square, and I think it is also powered by the camera.
