So my question is really what are the most ideal settings I should adjust on my phone to take the best possible pictures? Right now I have everything on default but I wanted to know everyone else's set up so I can take amazing pictures.
bump anyone ?

There are no such thing as the best settings...it all depends on what you are shooting, and what you want to produce.

So is it best to just keep my camera defaulted then? because as of now I have it on auto contrast white balene etc. And if thats the case what are some good settings for low light conditions like inside restaurants and stuff?

I honestly think this is something you have to adjust on the fly. Adjusting everything manually is definitely not the fastest way to take a picture so sticking with the auto settings is probably your best bet when it comes to quick shots. There are certain presets (indoor, incandescent, cloudy, out doors) that can be used to modify the "auto" settings. Try some of those out. I would just try different settings in different scenarios. You're very unlikely to be in the exact same scenario every time.
Camera settings
As far as "best" all around settings, the following hold true:
*Self portrait: OFF (unless you are taking a self portrait)
*Flash: Auto (for ease) but turn the flash ON in bright sunlight if shooting people within 8 feet, to fill in the harsh shadows)
*Shooting Mode: Single shot if you want to not get carried away and have a million shots to sift through, or Multi shot if you are not good at quick shooting and want to have lots of shots to choose from.
*Scene Mode: None. (for best all around use) the other settings just force higher or lower f-stops and shutter speeds, if you don't know what effect those have on an image, then "none" would be a good choice.
*Exposure Value: 0 for most shooting. + for shooting with bright backgrounds (snow, sand, bright windows etc) and - for dark backgrounds (dark stages with spotlight, concerts with lighting, black walls, etc) The normal light meter wants to blend all light values to 18% gray, so if you shoot a gray wall, a black wall and a white wall, they would all come out looking basically the same with 0 EV.
*Focus mode: Auto for almost everything
*Timer: Off. Unless you are wanting to use a self timer
*Effects: none. They are fun to play with for a couple of minutes, but you probably won't use them much in the real world, and you have a lot more control over effects in an external photo editing program.
*Resolution: 3264x2448. anything else is a waste of the camera specs. Yes, you can use smaller resolution if you are only shooting things to be used on the web, but what if you have a nice shot, and you had the camera set to 640x480? Storage is cheap and plentiful, keep the resolution to the max!
*White Balance: Auto Most cameras now have a very good auto balance.
*ISO: Auto Again, most cameras are good at this. You will get more noise and "grain" with higher ISO settings, but you will get the image. If you keep it set at 100, you will get blurry or unusable photos in low light. Remember, this is a PHONE, not a DSLR camera.
*Metering: Center weighted for most shooting. Spot if your subject and background vary greatly (similar to EV+-)
*Anti Shake: On, what the heck, let technology work for you.
*Auto Contrast: Off. if you are shooting a gray, dreary day, let it be dreary, not corrected to high contrast. Again, you can have much more control of the final image in a photo editing program (even one on the phone)
*Guidelines: off if you are easily distracted, on if you would like some help keeping horizons straight, or to keep the center of interest in the "Rule of thirds" this will help you to NOT put peoples heads in the Center of the photo with all that sky wasting space above them all the time
*Image Quality: Superfine. Why would you want to buy a Lamborghini and only drive it 10 MPH (KPH)?
*GPS tag: your choice. Most photo folders can group photos by location, kinda nice. I leave mine on.
*Shutter Sound: On, unless it bugs you, but it helps you know when the shutter fires as well as letting the subject know when they can quit posing/smiling. If you are trying to shoot secret pictures in the locker room, then silence it Also, Android Lost and other phone finding apps can shoot photos from the front and rear cameras if your phone is lost or stolen, a quiet shutter won't scare the thief.
*Storage: Memory card! Too many things can happen to your phone, keep your pictures on the external card. and back them up with something like dropbox, or manually.

Yes macro is a closeup setting.
HDR takes two shots and combines them for more dynamic range, but you have to hold the camera very still for it to work right.

so when shooting with the hdr setting are the 2 pictures suppose to merge as 1 if done correctly? Or will 2 pictures always show up in the gallery?

Hi guys, I have a quick question about the camera photo dimensions.
Is there any reason why the maximum resolution photographs do not appear full screen? They appear in a 1.33 ratio, whereas I'd prefer them to be full "hd" 1.77 resolution (filling the screen).
Putting the resolution down to 6 megapixels seems to fix this, but is there any other way around this?

Yes there is a reason. 8mp is a 1.33 format and your screen is 1.77, just as you say. You cant put a round peg in a square hole.
8mp = 3264w X 2448h
6mp = 3264w X 1836h
In the 6 MP mode, you are chopping off the top and bottom of the frame to fill the wide screen of the S3. (and loosing 2 MP of data in the process)
If you notice, the number of pixels in the width are not changing from 8 to 6mp, just the height. So if you ever decide to print an 8x10 from your 6mp photo, you will end up chopping off another couple of mega pixels from the sides, so your really printing an 8x10 out of about HALF the cameras potential.
When you zoom in during playback, you can fill the screen without actually chopping off the top and bottom information. It may bother you, but I think keeping the maximum amount of pixel data far out weighs the squarer image size.
That said; if you are never going to do anything but look at exactly what you shot on the phone, then feel free to shoot in 6mp mode and see the full image on your screen.
Good thread, I'm surprised there isn't more talk about the camera and it's potential.
So far, the only thing I've changed from the default settings is the *Image Quality: Superfine.
Are there any tips for nighttime or darker shots to be less noisey? I've found the camera to be excellent in the day time, but I can't for the life of me get those kind of pictures at night
Not really, you get better images at lower ISO settings, but at night, with the lower ISO setting you get much longer shutter speeds which create more noise...... You still have to remember, this is a PHONE
All,
The one thing irritating me about the V30 is the screen during YouTube... The 18:9 resolution is a issue... .. YouTube has a pinch to zoom thing to fix this issue for full screen videos scaling properly... Samsung crops the videos... Is there something we can do for the LG V30?
Thanks,
Sean
What exactly is the issue here?

Umgh the issue is there are black bars in the full screen videos in Youtube as the videos are 16:9 aspect ratio and V30 is 18:9... Samsung has a fix for the S8 which has a similar aspect ratio of cropping the video to fit the screen... Youtube's app supposedly fit videos to the screen with a pinch to zoom for 18:9 aspect ratio phones but doesn't seem to be working for V30.... Asking if anyone has a solution to this...
This pinch to zoom (or rather crop?) feature seems to be exclusive to the Pixel 2 XL at the moment.

basically he dislikes correct aspect ratios on the video and wants the video to fill the entire messed up ratio of the physical screen cause he doesn't like black bars.
it's the equivalent of "stretching" a 4:3 image to fit full screen on a 16:9 TV.
I've never comprehended why people prefer this. The video aspect ratio is how it was recorded. doing anything to it either crops out part of the image (old pan and scan style) or distorts the image making circles into ovals and such.

Well it's a matter of personal preference. Some people want to watch content as it was meant to be, others want the full screen experience. Personally I would never stretch as it causes too much distortion, but I don't mind crop...for me the small loss in the edges of the picture is worth the more immersive experience. I do this on my PC monitor as well, I have an ultra wide monitor (21:9) and crop most 16:9 TV shows to fill the entire screen. I know some people would disagree, but who cares to each his own lol.

absolutely it's personal preference, I don't fault you or anyone for that. Do what you like.
I've just never understood why filling a screen fully at the expense of lost information from the video is worth it. Even zooming in and cropping (no stretch) isn't benign. If the video is a certain resolution and aspect ratio, zooming and cropping misaligns the image's pixels to the screen's pixels causing a slight blurring. On a small mobile screen you'll likely not notice without grids and reference points though.
It's just the tech geek in me. Overscan is my bane... living through the age of curved CRTs and 16:9 movies chopped down to 4:3....gross... along with my arcade machine collection constantly fighting image geometry over the years...bleh. we finally get flat screens with one to one parity with the displayed images and then we back track to curved and cropping out things again. Lol.
You can do whatever... I'm just saying I'll never get it, lol.

Hey, awesome, thanks!
Got the update last night and you're right, as advertised, pinch to fill works!
https://youtu.be/8y7XGmORIXM
As an example of the preceding discussion, any V30 owner can now easily see for themselves the tradeoff of filling the screen.
Watching Electroboom's latest video, where he's ranting about YouTube demonetization, when I pinch to fill I cut off his forehead and his pants. Nothing is "stretched." (Also, "pan 'n scan" is the incorrect term to use here -- that's when a film is shot in a wide aspect ration but cut down, say for a 4:3 television, and since both characters can't fit on the narrower aspect ratio screen the view virtually "pans" between the two characters, whereas in the theater they'd both fit on the wide screen and there would be no panning.)

Indeed, I have just updated Youtube and it works perfectly for me.
Thanks folks for your help with this
For the ones like me that want to keep aspect ratios as they are, they can always look for "21:9" or "18:9" clips on YouTube, they will fill their screen all right without distortion.
Today's Youtube app update has the pinch to zoom feature.
Hello Group,
I got my LGV30 last weekend so I'm still a newbie with it but I am loving it so far. I have a couple of questions about the rear facing camera. I'm trying to understand the 16MP setting, here is why I'm kinda confused. Under the cameras settings I chose this: 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 . So when I take a picture shouldn't the result be at least near that particular MP?
When I hook up my LGV30 to my computer and look at the shots that I have taken a lot of them are 2 MP to 7 MP, so I dont understand...I do know that just because I selected 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 doesn't mean that every shot will be that large however it should be 11MP or better, correct???
Also, in the setting when I have to make a selection of the size I want I notice that this number is there too, 16:9 (12MP) 4656x2620, so if I am taking a 4:3 shot and then switched over very quickly to the 16:9 shot, then what MP is then used for the 16:9 shot since I didn't select a setting ?
Thanks, Jake
I seriously don't know what are you doing. I checked my photos and all of them are 16 MP or 13 MP (Wide angle).
As for the aspect ratio: Camera sensors are tend to be 4:3 - so it is 16MP. When using 16:9, the output from the sensor has to be cropped, so the final result is 12MP, for 18:9 is 11MP etc.
Thanks for the reply. This is so weird as on my cell the shots look great but looking at them on my computer it shows them ALL as way under size. Maybe its a Windows 7 thing but I dont know as of yet...still troubleshooting.

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that the "16MP" is if you use the outdated 4:3 aspect ratio. Wide-screen will give you less, but turning the phone "sideways" or seeing on a 16:9 computer monitor or TV will be much more aesthetically pleasing.

I think you are confusing MB with MP. When you say "a lot of them are 2 MP to 7 MP", I believe you are looking at file size, not pixels.
MB is file size. Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, etc. Plus, you can have different file sizes for the exact same picture, depending on whether it was saved in PNG or JPG. (The default on our phone is PNG format but some phones use JPG.)
Whereas, MP refers to the amount of pixels in an image. Usually higher MP in a camera means better pictures, but don't go by that alone:
http://www.blurbiness.com/web/en/bl...egapixels-does-not-mean-better-quality-photos
So you may find a camera or smartphone which, having less Megapixels, but with a better sensor and better lenses, gets clearer images than other cameras with more Megapixels. ... Basically, if you use a worse camera and worse lenses with more Megapixels, you will have more worse quality pixels

If I am understanding your question correctly, and forgive me if I'm not -- when you switched over to 16:9 shot "very quickly" it would take 16:9. However, that would not be your DEFAULT setting when you open the camera app. Next time you open the camera it would probably be back at 4:3.
You probably want 16:9 to be the default, so you should select that setting. Close the camera app, then re-open and see if it sticks.
Hi everyone,
I've had enough of my pixel 2 XL and it's endless issues. Looking at getting the S9 plus but can someone confirm you can use the telephoto lens whilst video recording at 60fps in 1080p or 4k?
Thanks!!
All resolutions support 2x zoom but not on 60 fps.

To clarify, you can use the 2x zoom lens with any resolution and frame rate, but you can't switch between the two lenses during recording at 60fps. If you wanted to use the 2x lens at 60fps, you'd have to switch to it before hitting the record button.

At 60fps mode phone records with standard lens, no matter if you switch to 2x before hitting record button
Is there any apk where I can shoot 60fps full HD with both cameras? I want to use optical zoom at 60fps
thanks
