On the G4, you have the option of capturing a video with both cameras at the same time, not one by one. Do G5 or V10 have that option?
It's called Multi-View, inside the Mode button on the camera. You can take pictures or video with all 3 cameras (normal, wide, and selfie) at the same time.
In all demos i saw that multi view requires you to film 5 seconds with one camera, stop, 5 with another and so on and it just stitches them together. Can you confirm that you can film at the same time? Do you know of a demo? Thanks, Daniel
I just took a video using it and played it. Confirmed that all 3 cameras took video at the same time.

Quick question about the cameras on the v10.
I have the lgv10, and previously had the G4. On the G4, you could take a picture or record with both front and back cameras simultaneously for as long as you wanted, provided that you had the space to save the video. On the v10 with multi view recording, I can only record one one camera at a time, for 3 seconds each. Is there an option for simultaneous picture taking or recording on one of the front facing cameras and the rear camera for more than 3 seconds?

You can use snap option to do that and hold record button (60 sec max) but it shloud be better way for sure. Maybe in future firmware update? G5 have it already.
Here's an interesting review that includes a video of the LG G6 vs Google Pixel cameras. http://www.cio.com/article/3191806/android/smartphone-camera-showdown-google-pixel-vs-lg-g6.html
Sounds about right. There are some things I wish the G6 camera could do better, but then it excels in certain areas. Just comes down to what you're looking for... for versatility it does fine. I just wish it could hone in more details in micro shots but it's by no means "bad"

Yeah mine is too blue in the shade or cloudy days and too red on sunny days. some pictures with trees and scenery was so red it's not even funny. And another problem is i can't enjoy making panoramas anymore. This phone and the original one before it will not produce one perfect panorama outside without making double or triple images of trees and poles etc. does it every time and even in the same parts of the photos if i retake the shot 10 times. i retook the shot of my back yard like 20 times altogether on different days and it does it exactly in the same spots. So i'm disappointed. when i had my GS7 i could have a piece of mind with photos on the auto setting or a panorama. now i am not confident. i hope a software update comes soon. 3rd party camera software sucks and they don't have a option to use the wide angle lens and i can't find panoramic software that works good in hi def. and most software is loaded with ads.
Dear friends,
On the official LG web site they say the LG V30 have:
1. 10-bit HDR Image Sensor – captures up to 211% more colors for improved accuracy. - ( I read tha article that LG have just 8 bit. And if they have 10 bit how they have bad photos, dynamic range.)
2. OIS+2.0 and EIS. (No one on YouTube says they have EIS, and if they have the EIS is not turn on??? Did we need tivwait update?)
3. Slow-Motion Video Recording – 1280 x 720 resolution, 240 FPS ( They are several YouTubers and web site that they say that LGV30 have just 120fps)
4. Steady Record 2.0 – record smoother, clearer videos on the move. (No one confirm this of users)
I don't have device, but I didn't find all of this things in any review of LG V30. Did LG lie? Or this is still beta software and we need to wait all of this?
Thx a lot for your answers and sorry for bad English :/

I don't understand this question. All the reviewers say this f/1.6 rear camera is great and all the pictures I have seen in this forum are fantastic.

Dear friend,
If you look at LG official web site, the 10 bit HDR photos have fantastic and much more color then former 8 bits HDR photos. But when you took photo with V30 a landscape mode where is buildings you will see the building but the behind of building will be all white, they are no a blue sky. Just look the photos dynamic range is very bad. Bur they promise very good HDR with 10 bits. And other things what i wrote i didn't see in V30.

That's because those stock photos are probably taken on a medium format and NOT a V30. Or a ton of expensive equipment with the V30.

Steady Record 2.0 is the same as EIS, when you turn Steady Record on in settings you turn on EIS. And guys on Youtube typically just post videos but they don't tell much if it was shot with Steady Record enabled or with Steady Record disabled. Hence we don't see if enabling EIS have much effect on stabilization. Even in this video it is unknown whether it was shoot with EIS on

1) Dynamic Range and "color range" (not what it is really called but we'll go with it as it's an easier term to relate to) capture are two different things. Dynamic range in simplest terms is how much detail can you capture between complete black and complete white. You will see people get really pissy if they can't get every detail in a bright sunlit cloud AND the back of a cave in the same shot.
The 211% increase in color capture is actually found in the spaces between colors. So instead of just capturing red, yellow, and blue, the increase color capture would be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Or if you wanted to get even more specific, instead of capturing just green, you get forest green, kelly green, British racing green, acid green, moss green, lichen, chartreuse, etc.
2) OIS seems to be always on and I really wish we had a switch to turn it off and on like on my lenses but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. EIS, as stated before, is Steady Record which does seem to have a switch in 1080 resolution. I haven't had a chance to play with it as much as I'd like but after watching a video earlier this week I might play with these two more. I was trying to figure out why my 1080 video didn't look stabilized compared to my 4k video. After watching some video somewhere, it turns out the OIS and EIS might be fighting each other. That's in video.
Also, in extremely loud environments I've noticed that either OIS or I am being moved a lot by stuff like a heavy beat coming out of speaker right next to me. Like I said, I need to play with the video more. I've shooting stills for a few decades and have a handle on that. I only tackle video once in a great while and really need to sit down and invest more time into learning it.
3) Slow motion. If you go into the manual video mode and pick out your video resolution to 720 and pick your frame rate, the highest you will get is 120fps. If you go into camera modes and pick the slo-mo option, that's where the 240fps resides. You can test this out by recording a video in manual set to 720p/120fps then another in just the slo-mo mode.
4) See #2, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what all is going on here.
Is there anything I'm missing here?
Tried taking selfie videos and everything is completely blurry and washed out.
I leave the phone static on the floor and then hit record and go do my stuff within range of the camera. When the recording is done the whole video is a mess.
Literally my spare, old, Samsung galaxy s 7 (not even Edge) takes selfie videos that are crisp and light years better than this!!!!
Anyone can explain??

I'm with The same problema to take selfies
front camera has fixed focus , you must get the distance from it right to get spot-on focus on you and not the surrounding area
Hello,
i take photos from the night sky since serveral years (with smartphones too).
Unfortunately with the Samsung S9plus the stars are not pinpoint like as they are on the Samsung S7. They apear very distorted with a kind of a halo.
Ofcourse the smartphone was not moved during 10 seconds of exposure time.
I did layed it down and used the self timer mode to prevent shaking.
I tried it serveral days in comparison with the Samung S7.
The S7 is always much better and show pinpoint like stars.
The distortion of the stars is visible in the RAW files(DNG) too so no jpeg problem forced by the compression.
Could you reproduce the same problems?
I am not allowed to post links.So how to show you the photo?
Could send you the link of the uploaded photos for comparison.
The dual camera variants of Samsung phones tend to overexpose shots, especially during darker environment.
That's what I noticed, and I'm waiting for the update they sent to Note 9s.

Are you using the telephoto camera? It has OIS driven by digital gyroscopes. Those gyroscopes aren't effective at low frequencies so the OIS will slowly drift around a small amount. 1/5 second is usually the limit for sharp photos. Even when the gyroscopes are turned off, OIS lenses are VERY sensitive to motion because of the lens being on a soft suspension. Walking next to the tripod could wobble the lens.
You also can't expect clear images if you use F/1.5.
Try using the wide angle lens.
I would send a photo to someone of you so you can post it here into the Tread.
Who like to do it?
The camera was layed down on the ground so no shaking or vibration ppossible during the exposure time.
I found no setting that the OIS gyroscope is working in photo mode. OIS is probably only working in video modes.
Even if it works in photo mode, the camera was layed down, so no shaking could happen.
Who of you could make a photo from the stars with the following settings?
Pro Mode
Camera mounted or layed on the ground with direction to the night sky.
Self timer to prevent shaking
Iso 800
10sec shutter speed
F 1.4

Antwort unfortunately the tele lens only works in very good light conditions.
Even in a bright lighted room there is no way to activate the real Tele lens. The camera automatic switch to digital Zoom.
Also in pro mode its not possible to use the telephoto lens if the light condirions are not perfect.
This is very bad because if the cameras is standing still completely and the object doesn't move why not using the Tele camera lens in pro mode?
Very interesting Thanks for the link
