Hey everyone. I was just wondering what was everyone's take on the settings for the camera. I'm still undecided on the Anti-Shake usage in camera mode. It seems that it has a tendency to add more grain/noise to the picture (you can even notice it by carefully looking on the screen when you enable and disable it). Does it really help reduce blurry photos (since the phone does have digital image stabilization)? Also, same thing for video mode using video stabilization. Is it really beneficial to have it enabled? Since if you take pictures while recording, I think the resolution of the photo alters. Just wanted to know what would be the best settings in overall day-to-day usage.
I was just coming in here to complain about the camera myself and see what others are saying for best settings. I cannot either seem to get mine to take pictures without being blurry - in any type of light or with the flash.
I noticed while using the camera that there are no controls for contrast, sharpness ..saturation etc. So I decided to download other camera apps and use those functions in them. The only problem is, those controls have no effect on the image. I can adjust them ...say...in Camera360 or lgcamera but nothing happens. I can tell they are not preset values in the apps because say for Contrast, in all apps the contrast shows a value of 5. It can be changed but nothing ever happens. Is there a way to unlock these settings in the kernel maybe? Has anyone messed with this? Im just so used to always having control over these functions on my HTC phones. It seem kind of silly to lock them out on an amazing phone like the GS4
Bumpity....
Nobody knows anything huh?
I don't know about the third party apps but I know different options are available when you set the camera to different modes. Like in the beauty face mode the you can change iso

ISO is normally available in Auto mode as well as Exposure adjustments. But even in the Auto mode, there are none of the adjustments mentioned at the top of this thread. The only thing im really looking to control is contrast.....otherwise I have to edit most of my photos. The images are really good but because of the ultra high contrast preset in the camera, the whites/highlights get easily blown out.
Ahh.. guess not
No biggie I guess. Im not complaining about this phone or camera. Just kinda wish it had access to those controls.
So I just tried some settings in Snap Camera. Brightness, Contrast and Saturation have NO effect on the image at all. And also the Scene modes do absolutely nothing either. Is this some kind of bug with the GS4's camera software? Ive never used a phone and not had half the stuff working in the camera that typically works on other phones.
So I was playing around in the camera settings ....
I noticed that the option for "steady recording" is greyed out and/or not selectable for the back camera.
It is an option on the selfie camera.
Anyone come across this?
Ok ..
Just figured it out.
Apparently it's selectable when setting resolution to lower settings.

Correct. You might want to play with using it off in certain situations as I find that sometimes the EIS (Steady recording) and OIS will fight each other.
Hi everybody,
I was looking to buy a gimbal for my phone, and to choose which one to buy I tested some camera apps that can be controlled by the gimbal (DJI and Zhiyun official apps, and Filmic).
I sadly noticed that although the LG Camera allows me to correctly focus from macro to infinite, on all these third party apps I can focus from macro to about a couple of meters far, not more.
Does anyone have the same bug? I'm running stock Oreo firmware with MK2000 kernel (necessary choiche, as Magisk breaks the flashlight when using the stock kernel).
I attach here my /system/vendor/etc/camera/camera_config.xml file, as it seems that playing with the TotalFocusDistance and MinFocusDistance values changes the behaviour of the manual focus wheel in the apps, but I still didn't find how to focus to the infinite.
Maybe I edited that file and I forgot about it?:silly:
EDIT: the problem only occours with manual focus. Autofocusing works great.
Anybody found a good GCam and config file for this phone yet. I'm using GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.6 with the lg-g8sx-th config file and it's pretty decent but wondering if there's a better more compatible version.

I've been wondering how gcam works before pulling the trigger. Do you mind elaborating on "pretty decent"? What all works? I like the phone's camera, but I've seen instances in reviews where in auto mode it overexposes the highlights. I'd like a functioning gcam mod for when I don't want to go into manual mode

Sure, I'm by no mean a photo person and everybody have their preferences as far as photo goes but I found that with GCam the colors are more accurate and lighting and exposures looks better in most shots for me.
Downside with this particular version is that some features will crash the app still when you try to use it such as Nightsight and Portrait. It's a hit or miss and I find myself using the default camera app half the time, especially for video. The search continues.
I use a release by Pitbull that works fairly well. The bugs currently are no 4k or 60fps video recording, no video at all on wide lens (without clearing cache first), but no bugs I've found in selfies, portrait mode, or night sight mode. If you toggle the 4k button in the pulldown, the app will crash and no longer open causing you to clear data in storage and perform setup again, same with choosing Camera 3. Latest release does have support for configs though. In settings, sabre has to always be off. If it's on, all photos will crash. Also the option "disable openGL preview" needs to be toggled on to allow night sight to work properly under fixes.

In the screenshots, I circled the important settings. The first one is in main settings screen, the second is under fix settings screen. With these settings, and not choosing 4k or camera 3, app works great, especially photos. If you like gcam for pictures, you will like this one.

Hi, thank you for your recommendation, I just got my new LG v60 and your apk and Screenshot helped me get it working well, I wonder if you have a new version or any new updates on this Gcam for Lg V60
Thanks again.
To the top - trying to see if anyone has had any luck finding something that works decent.
I have tried the 8.x versions from Wichaya, Urnyx, with and without the LG G8(x) configs, to no avail.
The issues range from images saved as a corrupt file, to random blotches of red appearing in the photos, viewfinder getting locked when in Night Sight, and 0.5x camera not being there altogether.
The same thing. A lot of Gcam mods are kind of working on V60 but weird colours here and there is the problem Can't find properly working Gcam mod too.

Is anyone using any working Gcams for the V60 with configs? I would mainly use it for the front camera.
TIA
