HI
Sorry for my bad English
Question:
I'd llike to use LG G5 SE for photogrammetry purposes. Camera lenses shoud be in fixed position to the sensor (in order to accurately measure room proprotions for example)
SO, How to DISABLE OIS / STEADY (EIS) in LG G5 SE?
Is It possible to turn off OIS and EIS - completely or temporarily ?
Thanks for Help

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
This camera is amazing. Sometimes the LG camera gets the white point a little off. For example, if you're in a restaurant with a lot of red lamps, it may read as a warmer setting. This is something that can be adjusted manually (and easily fixed in an image editor)
I feel like some of the details are "smoothed" out, but I don't know if that has to do with the camera as much as the app. It's not necessarily bad. If you take micro shots, it's more noticeable, this smoothing effect. It may be a setting in the camera... if you want crisp shots, it's certainly feasible. For example, I was taking up close shots of the fabric of the clothes I am wearing. However, sometimes it is hard to get the camera app to focus on the right thing. It's worse the closer you are to the subject. However it can definitely focus up-close with the non-wide angle camera, though I think a bit less than my Samsung S5 used to be able to do. If you need textures for graphic design work, it's definitely feasible though.
Camera does do some heavy post processing. You can tell when you zoom in.
First Picture is using Stock Camera Auto Mode
2nd Picture is using OpenCamera Camera2 API Auto Mode
3rd Picture is using RAW OpenCamera Camera2 API Auto Mode
I think the wide angle is garbage for landscape shots. Click on photo and zoom in a bit you'll install see what I'm talking about. I love wide angle for closer you shots though. 2nd photo of fire is really just to show why u love the manual settings.
Does anyone use any other camera application to unlock the full potential of this camera? coming from the Galaxy s6 edge, I really liked their camera application and was easy to access the more advanced settings (iso, exposure, ect...) this camera allows that but it makes it very difficult and is overly complicated when those settings are finally available.

Using a camera app other than LG's own stock camera app will most likely result in poorer quality images. LG specifically optimizes their app to take advantage of the phone's hardware to the fullest potential.
Thus why if you ever flash a non-stock-based ROM, you will find that your camera is just not as good as before.

The manual option gets easier when you figure out how to use it.. You'll be able to get some great pics with it.

Someone should do some guide with best settings.
There's some guides on YouTube for the V20.. It's the exact same concept

Thanks, i will check it, its my first LG after years with Samsung.
this one is pretty in-depth..

Yeah... other then the stock App. for Camera results in lower quality photos like when i use the Z-Camera App. which is great for Editing but other then that use stock
I really like the camera, feels like an upgrade from G5, but too bad there's no 13mp 16-9 mode
Why is nobody here talking about the front camera? The rear camera has a horrible oversharpening effect and the front camera is plain trash (normal & wide both). What I further do not understand is why the 13MP mode doesn't have a 16:9 or 18:9 ratio. Clicking pictures in 4:3 on this already narrower display is a mediocre experience. With the G6 camera being ported to the G4 already, I do not find a single advantage having the G6 over G4 for still photography (both manual & auto). Why are people being irrational and praising a sub-par camera setup on the G6?
I just got my Indian G6 (64GB & Quad-DAC). I am coming from an LG G4 (H818N) and I haven't been impressed by the cameras. The display on the G6 is better, the design & ergonomics are better, the build quality is exceptional too. But if you have used a G4 or an S7e or an iPhone 7, you will not like the cameras on this one.
For anyone reading this who is out to buy a new device, if you prefer a good smartphone camera you will be let down. Go for a Pixel or S7e or S8/S8+ for better camera performance.

I have a Xiaomi Mi5 too. What I did notice for sure is that the Mi5's front camera is way better that the one on the G6. Also, the back one seems better on low light conditions. The one on the G6 seems to "lag" in stand-by mode. On the G6 : the main camera is having exposure and saturation issues, the wide angle one has oversharpening issues. I don't know what everyone are praising about... I sure hope they will fix some issues with the next updates.
I kinda feel sorry I didn't chose the S7 Edge.

You are still talking about a recently launched device. The G6 front camera is worse than my good old G2 and S4. I have a Oneplus 3 in my house whose front camera is way better than this S#! T on G6. How I wish we had return policies here in India. Very disappointed. I am done with LG atleast for this life time! ?

Yeah, the full resolution isn't cropped like the 16:9 one.. You can open it in an app and do the cropping yourself.

Hmm. I'm getting a little confused. I was considering buying the Huawei p10, because I want to use my mobile more, for taking pictures. Then the LG G6 is on a discount, making the G6 almost as cheap as a Huawei p10. And some reviewers says that the G6 camera is better than the P10 also in low light.

If you do not care about the front camera, the G6 is probably the best phone for you. But if you do care about the selfies and also want exceptional quality stills, I'd suggest going with the Pixel or Pixel XL.

LG V30 i need some info..

Hi to all,
This phone look so good. I have OP5 and i want better phone with better camera. I have some questions:
1. Slow motion - is the same 120fps at 720p or it is 240fps at 1080p?
2. Time Lapse​ - can it record at 4K? At which​ speed? ( x6, x10, x36 etc...)
3. Is there a portrait mode?
4. Point zoom - can it be use in time laps?
I see many videos but i really cant find slow motion and time laps.
And if you can chose between wide angle and telephoto x2 what will you chose?
P. S. Did you think the LG V30 have good zoom that doesn't lost so much details when you zoom x2 or x8?
It's 720p @120fps
Time lapse won't be at 4k for any Android
No portrait mode as no telephoto lense.
I will go with wide angle any day as I am into taking pics that can gather larger data ( field of view) and not much into taking pics of people ( telephoto is basically and better used for this)
Thx a lot for answer. Too bad that V30 (multimedia phone) didn't have 240fps.
I have a new question, did V30 have same hardware front face camera like LG G6? Because G6 have very bad front face camera.

Hi I don't have the phone but trying to get as much information about it as possible, as far as I understand the front camera is exactly the same module as the G6, it's basic, and selfie lovers as well as bloggers are supposed to be using the rear camera instead. For front camera performance the HTC U11 as well as the Nokia 8 phones are recommended.

I don't know if it is the "exact" same camera, but every review I've seen says it inferior to most if not all the other flagship phones (S8, note 8, U11, iPhone and so on).
It a bit of a let down, but I don't really use the front camera, so not a big deal to me.

LG G6 Wide angle Len on LG G5

hello everyone, i have a stupid question. is it possible to put LG G6 wide angle len module on the G5? i mean the camera module look the same as the g5. the only problem was that the g5 is only 8mp while on the g6 is 13mp. i can really find the wide angle camera for a really reasonable price just wonder whether it will work or not. any idea?

LG V30 or Huawei P20 Pro - camera is a priority

My LG G6 broke down and I received a refund. Now I need a new smartphone, and the camera is a priority. The LG G6 camera was weak, very weak, until I uploaded GCam from Cstark. Now it was better, but GCam had a problem with AF and it was slow, so that the pictures of the children were blurred.
However, I loved the wide angle in G6.
Now I am wondering if the LG V30 is a much better camera, so that you can take everyday photos of kids and family on holidays, events, etc. without the installation of GCam (which I would still install for static photos), or look for something else.
The alternative is the Huawei P20 Pro, but this phone is more expensive by about $ 110 and I do not know if it is worth to pay the difference and if it actually has a better camera.
I care about a good automatic mode so that I can quickly pull out the smartphone and take a picture, because the children do not stop for a photo.

I use stock cameras. Yes, V30 also has wide angle camera.
LG has improved the V30 cameras considerably with Oreo updates.
In so many ways, V30 was what LG G6 should have been.

Surely you aren't saying the 2014 LG G4 camera is better than the 2017/2018 LG V30/V30+/V30S?

I have heard the G4 had the best camera LG ever made.
I'm thinking the p20 pro will have the better camera.
Well to put it simple I think both phone have great cameras but the P20 is better. Now the price difference is something to consider the LG V30 is selling for around 400-300 USD while the p20 pro is selling for 600 bucks so your talking about a 200 to 300 dollar difference. If camera is your main focus I would go with a Pixel 2 XL but for the price the LG V30 is more bang for the buck, it has a DAC a headphone jack and pretty good cameras. Now can you put up with the sometimes buggy LG skin and limited updates and rom support?
P20 the v30 has poor selfie big time !

That's one of my main gripes about the phone (besides only one speaker at the bottom). Using the Google Camera port makes a considerable difference when it comes to selfies and the rear camera.

Honestly i have no idea. But most of the people who are voting here have no idea either lol. Better off seeing some video comparison online. Not to mention XDA are infested by Huawei fanboys oddly enough.
I THINK, the p20 pro has the better stock cameras and obviously better front camera. LGs HDR is really underwhelming and personally I take log/raw or gcam shots and edit via snapseed.
The video capability is a bit of a similar story. I rarely use stock video cam though it's not because stock is bad, simply because manual, cine mode and snap movie tend to be far more useful. The quality I think is great and I strongly doubt p20 pro can beat graded V30 footage.
So, take my words with a grain of salt. And again check out some YT video comparisons.
I made some photo comparision. In shop LG V30 has more natural colors, and overall photos from LG looks better to me, but P20 Pro are little sharper? I tested LG V30 with GCam and stock camera. When stock cam - both phones was in auto in pro mode

I think I'll go with LG V30.
Huawei P20 Pro is not worth the difference in price (140$) . Am I wrong?

Actually, I sent pictures I found online taken with the V30 using stock and GCam and showed it to my friend who owns a G4 and they preferred the G4 and claimed it's better. So I went online looking for a comparison of the G4 to the V30 and found it. I noticed there's a weird "haze" over the pictures taken from the G4. I wish the person who took the pictures would have taken at least some adjusting for the distance difference required to compensate for the wideness or narrowness of either lens.
I think in the post (Mixed Light 1) it demonstrates superior contrast from the V30 when looking at the security guard and the shadows on the floor as well as all the red panels and boxes. The text on the window in the G4 picture is less legible than the V30 too.

Front Camera with Stock App

Anyone knows why LG V60 Front Camera in Stock App is so much horrible that it is non usable as compared to GCam front Camera?
and why it always starts with beauty mode?
P.S even LG G8 Front Camera in Stock App is far better than LG V60 Stock App.
