Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the phone for mainly video recording.
I'd purchase a stabilizer gimbal with the phone, and use it 95% time in wide angle mode to record 4k videos.
As I don't yet have the phone it's hard for me to tell how good it is for that purpose, but I know that i'd definitely need the following things in video mode:
- turn inbuilt stabilizer off
- change exposures
- lock exposure
- manual ISO setting
- manual shutter speed would be nice, but not essential
- manual focus that stays focused on one place
- NO unnecessary focus hunting in automatic mode (God...that ruins so many videos!) - i hope the laser focus works here
These are usually fairly basic requirements for Photography mode, but sometimes they don't include these in video mode.
If they are not built in the default camera app, does other playstore camera app(like "Manual camera") work on the phone with these settings?
I currently have a Moto X Style that I love, but the video features are all automated and many of the above is locked
Thank you all for the answers

So even though there was no answer, I have went to a phone shop and tried it there. I found that in video mode manual settings are not possible at all, which is a big letdown for the G5.
I'm hoping at least that Open camera at least works on it. That should allow manual controls for video too. Has anybody tried it?
Hi!
Open camera is working fine. One of the few apps that also can use the wide angle camera!
When I want to record video with perfect audio I use my zoom h2n recorder as external mic and adjust the audio gain: perfect for rock concerts, etc.
Just buy a USB-C OTG adapter to USB 3.0 (normal size). Then connect the cable from the mic. At last - perfect audio!
the only advanced & working app I've found till date (which can EVEN change options during recording) is Cinema FV-5.
OpenCamera could be used too sometimes, if you dont have something better.
Ive mostly used 3rd party video apps with my G5, instead of the stock camera too, though its hard to find one that will use both lenses.

Hello dear friend, recently bought G5 and trying to find app that enable manual movie functions and uses both lenses, could you find any app???
Hi everyone, i just bought the LG G5, I came from a samsung s6 edge + and the camera app from samsung let me set more low iso than the lg g5, so my question is that if there is a camera mode or setting to low the Iso on the lg g5 camera to take better long exposure pics, sorry about my english and hope you guys can help, thanks....
I think this phone is probably the best phone on the market for this kind of photography. Just use manual mode, set ISO to 50, use RAW (depends on you) and play with shutter speed.
On the camera app just click the 3 dots and select manual to access all the good stuff.
Hello everybody,
Does any one has any idea how to lock F1.5 in Auto Mode? I would like to have F1.5 & HDR for macro shots in perfect lighting conditions. I can force F1.5 in Pro Mode but this mode is lacking of High Dynami Range functionality. So the macro shots bokeh with F2.4 aperture looks inferior compared to my old Galaxy S7 not to mention my wifes S8. I wish there was a switch in camera settings to force F1.5... I hope there's a solution.
Thanks in advance!
No only Pro or you could try https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/gcam-port-galaxy-s9-s9-t3763849 which uses f1.5 as default
Is there any solution to this yet ? On the s10
Hi,
I'm looking for apps or other modes that can use the multiple camera's on the S10 Exynos at the same time.
Previously my S7 could take a photo with the back and front camera at the same time, this option has disappeared apparantly. It was called Dual Camera mode
Also missing :
- Video collage (4 videos , shot in sequence, as 1 videogrid)
- Virtual shot
- Surround shot
thanks for any feedback
I recently bought the a52s, and it is great in every way so far, but I was wondering if there is a way to enable HDR in the camera instead of auto because it doesn't pick up every time and HDR does give a nice look to the photos IMO
any help is appreciated
