LG V30 moving band issue - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Is anyone having this issue?
LG V30 in normal camera mode will show moving bands that will actually capture into your photo.
It happens to all the demo units I saw.
Please see the youtube video

Tons of people have posted videos made with the phone, in this forum and on YouTube. They don't have those issues.
There's even pro filmmakers who've made videos with this phone.

Isn't that banding just from recording a screen from a camera?

just two quick videos to refute

Plus all the tons of videos in this forum shot with this phone.

Looks like they picked up the refresh rate to me. Using a video camera with a certain rate you can pick up some odd stuff if it's in step with display refresh rates.

It's not from the video recording.. I can actually see it with my own eyes it does that same.
The phone recorded as the way I seen it.
I just want people to tell me does it happen on the retail unit as this is a demo unit from the store.
Also this only happen under normal camera mode. Does not happen in Wide angle, video,...etc.

I think I need to explain this a little better.
This moving band only happen when the phone it's in normal camera mode. Doesn't happen at home screen other app and does not happen in wide angle camera mode or it's video mode.
I checked with 4 different stores' demo they are all acting the same. I am recording it with my phone. I understand there might be refresh rate issue. However, what the phone is showing is what I am seeing.
I am here just to ask if it does happen to retail units. So whatever youtube video people recorded with the V30 doesn't matter because it only happen in normal camera mode.

Just because many users do not have this issue does not mean this member doesn't. Please allow people to respond to the thread if they have issues.
Thanks

With all due respect, and I realize I am addressing a mod, he has not shown the problem he claims. He says the bands are being captured IN the photo but he doesn't show any photos. It seems he is making a claim without any proof.

He's saying in photo mode (what he calls "normal" camera mode) with the f/1.6 lens (not f/2.2 wide angle lens) you can TAKE A PICTURE and these bands will be IN the picture taken? He's specifically claiming "bands that will actually capture into your photo".
Where's the photo to prove it? He further claims he saw this in all the demo units in the store, but again does not show any pictures taken with those demo units.
Whereas here's some photos made by a @keithleger in this forum with the f/1.6 lens camera (not the wide angle lens). He shot all these photos in auto mode below with the the f/1.6 lens. No banding IN the photos. These are pictures taken his first weekend of owning the phone..

I do understand some users may have problems others do not have. If I am out of bounds for asking for proof of what he claims, I'm sorry.
Also my examples are relevant. He keeps asking if "retail versions" have this issue. So, I am showing him examples of retail versions that have no issues.

Must not happen often. I have not noticed it. Or it is so slight that it is hard to notice unless you look for it. I have posted many photos comparing the v30 to the Note 8 and the v30 to the Pixel XL 2. I did not see anything in those, did you?

here are quick links to the 2 Google photo albums...one is v30 vs note 8 and the other is v30 vs Pixel XL 2 ... show me the banding in ANY of the V30 photos. Again all of the photos are on auto mode.

This is all I want to know. Some one tells me that does not happen to their unit. Unlike some obnoxious person kept asking for a proof from a demo unit in the phone store where this person don't even own V30.
by the way the demo unit model is V300V.
Thank you

This was exactly the proof I gave, from this same user, in this thread. You would not listen.
Look at the user name I mentioned, look at the pics. That's why he came here, because I mentioned his name.
You're welcome.
We told you there's tons of pictures from users with this phone in this forum and I gave examples. I even described the settings, auto mode with f/1.6 lens.

Thanks, but no thanks this wasn't your original intention. you could have just forward it, I can ask the person myself about the phone experience instead of a person doesn't have one trying to be little another person where how you want me get more proof from a store demo unit? huh? Steal it?

The proof you should give is to download the output from the demo unit. You claimed ALL the demo units showed this and in my expert opinion, no preproduction units OR retail units have this issue. It would have been noted, believe me. Much less all the demo units in one store,, where bands are captured IN THE PICTURE.
So I showed you the examples you asked for, and you didn't want to hear it.
I thInk you should thank us for answering your question and leave it be.
I gave the exact same proof, from the exact same person.

The demo unit at my local Telus store didn't exhibit this at all.

I don't know what to tell you. I check telus, mobile wave, fido they all have it. Maybe something is messing up the frequency.
If this is no problem to people that owns it, I will take it as that.

Man drop it dude. I don't live in the mall like you okay! Plus I got regular job other than kept messing with store demo units. Believe or not believe I am walking way from talking you.
Cut it out and let the people have it talk.

here is the proof you wanted. It's happen with Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. This was exactly what I saw with the LG v30 demo units. I am guessing LG v30 might be affected as well.
In door lighting causing this. Possible not even usable in some indoor lighting.

Well, not "indoor" lighting but LED lighting. Plus, the Pixels are NOT using the same cameras as the LG V30. And it has NOTHING to do with the LG OLED displays -- because this is captured through the camera sensor. (Just had to say that.)
But if you can prove that's the same issue with the LG V30 camera (either or both of the rear cameras), yes -- that is the proof I was asking for.
Just explain how MANY different cameras (Pixel rear camera, LG V30 f/1.6 camera, maybe also the LG V30 wide angle camera?) all have this and no one has seen it before in all the reviews? It cannot be a "widespread" problem.
It's also not all Pixel cameras, just some. The writer says it doesn't affect his Pixel.

All LED lights have a natural flicker that ranges from 50 to 60Hz, and it's something that's not perceivable to the human eye. However, certain cameras are capable of picking up this flickering and display it over what you're trying to capture. As fate would have it, the sensor on the Pixel 2 is one such camera.
I personally can't replicate the flickering on my Pixel 2, and according to other users, this is something that's only affecting certain handsets. It's unclear if a software update will be able to fix this, so we'll have to wait and see what the Mothership says.

I actually do not have any general LED lighting in my home, but yes others do. I do have them in my workplace.
