Bought my V10 about a month ago and while I think it takes awesome pictures (back camera) I am a bit disappointed in the camera software.
Has anyone tried a 3rd party camera app with the V10 and if so, was the picture quality the same as the stock camera and which app(s) did you try/settle on?
I've used Snap Camera HDR on previous phones, as well as tried it on this phone, but I've found the stock software pretty amazing when compared to my past experiences.
What about the camera software is disappointing? For me the Camera is damn near perfect. I only wish it had the ability to change metering modes, and to bracket shots. If they add that it is perfect.
I would like to be able to change the megapixel density. I don't always need a 16mpxl photo. Some times shooting at lower density increase quality on low light.
No date /time on photo. Low light is difficult to adjust for. Photos can sometimes be blurry or Pixelated.
I use Google's camera as an alternative sometimes. Always when I do a pano, LGs camera sucks at panoramic.

I've taken a dozen or so panoramas, compared to my galaxy s4 no difference, what's your specific issue?
I've found V10 to adjust exceptionally well in low lighting. Even in auto mode.

Clean the lens, make sure you have good lighting as well.

"clean the lense" - my first thought. grainy regardless of lighting condition but not as grainy outside in natural sunlight.
Rule out the rom, 1.8.6 is mint for me.

I've noticed pictures are grainy on any rom for the TB and on the Incredible. It seems to happen most when you do not have enough natural light or when you are zooming. Phones do not have optical zoom they have digital zoom and there is a difference. I think digital just adds more pixels where as optical actually magnifies.
I took this one zoomed about 3/4 of the way in today in bright sunlight using BaMF 1.8.6 Remixed. It's the only picture I've taken so far since flashing the rom though.

yeah just wish my pictures werent so grainy
Digital zoom is pretty much useless - its equivalent to just cropping the photo. The graininess I think you're referring to is noise, rather than pixelation. You get noise when the total amount of light that hits the sensor is low, and with the tiny sensor on the TB (and most phones in general), this is impossible to avoid in many cases.
I do remember talk with some GB roms a while back about overclocking to 1.4 GHz for better camera performance. Maybe this would help? I can't imagine it would hurt...
I got a replacement phone because the headset speaker died on my original one. I don't remember having this issue on the original phone. Can you guys take a picture of a white wall or ceiling in medium light and see if you have this problem. Otherwise I might have to see about another exchange.
Also, it seems that this has been a problem since the i9100 was introduced but I don't remember it before.

that's a light issue, not a camera issue. turn your flash on. besides, when is there ever a time that I need a picture of the ceiling?
(by the way, I checked this on 3 phones, the ones in my signature, and it does it on all 3 phones. Then I turn on my flash on the gs2 (since the other ones don't have a flash) and it goes away. in order not to get it without your flash, you have to be in more natural sunlight)
You've never taken a picture of something white before?
The ceiling is just an easy example.

I have, but if it's outside I don't get this red spot. And if it's inside, I don't get it either if I use the flash. I don't see that as a bug in the camera. My wife is a photographer. This is coming from her. It's the light.

I also just took some pictures of things around the house that are on a white background. like pictures on our wall. I took some with flash, and some without. Now it appears that this red spot for me only shows up if the picture is completely white and I don't use the flash. If anything else is in the picture, it's gone - with or without the flash. Seems like a non-issue to me.
Read up on how to do a white balance for your camera.
As you go further out from the optical center of the camera, the angle which the light makes with the normal to the detector increases. This in turn means that, toward the edges, there's more chance that a light ray will travel through more than one of the colour filters, resulting in a color shift at the edges.
Here, it looks as though the camera white-balance has fixed a colour shift around the edges, at the expense of the center shifted to pink.
Phrases to google if you're interested: "pixel crosstalk", "bayer filter", CFA.
All smaller imagers are prone to this; they're simply too short for the optics to be close to telecentric (i.e. all rays hit detector at 90°). In a scene where there's a better range of colour and lighting, you likely wouldn't notice any problem at all. If you do, then cell-phone cameras aren't for you

There is a Z3 camera thread, however the Z3v has slightly different hardware. Let's show off results from this camera.
Here are several images I captured with the Z3v:

Low light, my wife and daughter.

actually they look verygood
I'm in Florida. I usually run these through the quick fix in PS touch. But for you guys these are the processed. The top one is shot in manual full sensor. The bottom quick button auto.
Great looking pics!
Comet Lovejoy through a old Military Night Scope, I had to press the phone's camera to the eye piece of the scope and then snap the picture. The large white dot just right of the "T" is Comet Lovejoy. You can just make out the tail of the Comet if you look real close. In the second one it is the large dot below the "T".
Hard to capture the image, it looks way cooler in person, the tail is very distinctive through the Night Scope in person.
Here are a couple more images. These were edited in snapseed.
GOOOOD
The dedicated shutter button, and the general reviews of sony xperia camera's, was a major selling point for me. I think there are likely others looking for camera samples so I wanted to share a few more.
This first is a food shoot (haven't seen much food samples). Home made pizza!
Another outdoor image.
And one more low light.
I own several high end cameras including the 36mp A7r and have been quite impressed with the Z3v for snapshots. I like the manual mode at usually 8mp resolution. Here is an example of dinner on Friday. Outdoor day or low light night shots are impressive on this sensor.

The flare appears while taking photos of bright objects in the dark, like candles. It can ruin a photo. I've never seen a flare like this in any smartphone camera. Does anyone have the same problem?
An example:

The candle in the upper left corner should not be exhibiting this purple flare. Really annoying.

Well, that's charming. Apple simply told it's users to point the camera at a different angle.
Still, it was in 2012. I've done a brief comparison with my girlfriend's Galaxy Note 4 and seen no flare there.
I would greatly appreciate any LG V30 user's opinion on this topic. I would like to know if it's the same in every V30, or is my unit especially faulty.
I think i found the answer.
The camera seems to be very susceptible to IR light. LG is using an IR lamp to assist autofocus, so naturally the camera has to detect it easily.
It just so happens, that a candle flame is quite hot. Because of that, it emits extensive amounts of IR light. I was able to get the same effect during the day, but it is best seen using an IR remote.
Well, nothig can be done with that as it seems. Every other phone I've used wasn't that susceptible to IR light. It certainly is a novelty to me.
I've got some time ago this app for free and never really used and now I wanted to give a try with a JPG comparison and for my surprise it is way better than stock, in the attachment the samples.
This is the link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
For the Proshot picture I shot in: JPG, P, ISO 50, no noise reduction, Detail turned off, IMG+ turned off, Topaz Denoise and Sharpen.
Proshot seems to be way better than stock, its a pitty it does not support 50mpx yet.

Wow.. look way sharper... Do you have any other comparison like outdoor? ppl?
There are many version of gcam available and not really complicated to install.
Is this better?
Hmmm, the stock image looks either out of focus or soft by motion blur... would it be possible to show other samples, also from other scenarios ? That would be great
Does Proshot support all lenses on the S23U ?
Both pictures where shoot in the same condition, I will try to do other test but the test shows detail and color rendition

The problem is that this is a painting so we have to point of reference in our mind as to how exactly it looks in real life. If you go out and take a picture of like trees and buildings, it's easier for us to compare. Though I agree that proshot does look sharp and nice! Just hard to tell if it's not too sharp compared to real life?

I will do more testing because in some test I did today seems that even if I disable in camera sharpening, the app applies sharpening. Other thing I found is noise pattern this camera creates that is more difficult to Topaz to remove (somethin that not happen with Canon for example) but I will arrive to a bette conclusion when I do more test.
What about ProShop post-processing? Will be great some examples of outdoors pictures vs stock cam...
As long as the RAW issue with ProShot on the S23U is not fixed this app is virtually unusable with this device.
When shooting RAW you always the the image from the 1x module even when using 0.5x, 3x or 10x.
At least the guys at Rise Up Games are aware and looking for a way to fix the issue.
Also video stabilization is not present or working on the S23U in combination with ProShot.
