Best camera setting for my needs? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I am enjoying this camera, even though I don't really now how to harness the power of it's camera..
I work in security and take pictures of license plates in a large parking lot, and experimenting with my new LG V30, I took a simple picture while driving, and could barely read any plates in the picture, even though the lighting was decent.
I am not so worried about perfect color or anything cinematic. I just need to make the camera default the the most crisp and defined setting it can handle.I am in Manual mode, but a little unsur how to proceed. Any advice? Also can I make the camera default to manual mode when opened?
Thanks!

It looks like your focus may be off. May I ask why you prefer manual mode over auto? Here's one I took in auto mode.

Camera Post Processing

When you take photos with your S2. Do you share them online without any editing?
Personally I've found that all my pictures are lacking in contrast and are gamma saturated. They look too washed out and can be vastly improved with a few quick photoshop filters:
scripts->image processor->run action (recorded an earlier action of auto leveling the image (CTRL + L, auto level, save, close)).
I wish they could look this good on the first take, reckon there's any tweaks that could be made to the camera firmware without slowing it down drastically? perhaps even a separate shooting mode.. I guess that would mean a 3rd party app..

Is there a way to disable stock camera post-processing?

I think that the GT-i9300 is a very capable camera, but it does some heavy post-processing that ends up ruining the pictures.
In particular, it seems to be applying some form of artificial sharpening. I can't stand that effect, and it's the first thing I disable in any camera I take pictures with. However, I can't find an option to stop the stock camera app from doing this. Is there a mod, camera firmware, anything to fix this?
Here's an example of what I mean: look how there are while halos around the cables. There is also a really heavy and muddy noise reduction in low light scenes.

Are you sure you don't have any effects, sceneries or quality reduction activated?
Absolutely. I even cleared the Camera app's data to be sure.
Does it not happen in your device? Test against something with sharp edges, like hair, cables and furniture against a clear background.

[Q] Camera app with levelling?

Is there a normal camera app which uses the leveltool in android?
Why? because i see lots of pictures with an angled horizon, caused by holding the phone under a slightly angle when taking pictures. (including myself)
The only apps which use this feature are the panorama apps. It starts working from the second picture till the last. I'd like to see an app which has this feature by single shots.
thnx
Here's an example of what i mean:
Take a look at the waterlevel. It's not straight. I's diffiult to get that horizontal. A gridline with a beep would be nice. I noticed on my default camera app there's a tiny gridline. i can't see it in this conditions.

Why does 3rd part camera apps use only 8MP?

Hey guys, why that? Is it a driver stuff or?
Camera FV-5 can take awesome pictures, but using only 8MP results in 2MP for long exposure mode.
This is so bad, look what awesome pictures is could take in low light, and with "low light" I mean REALLY LOW LIGHT (unluckily I didn't realise it was out of focus it's just a try I made tonight at work)

I have been dying to know why as well. I hope someone responds.
It's the poor Sony API only supports legacy mode. They need to add full support
The current API is bugged, only returning 8.3MP to 3rd party ..... I wish they fix this issue asap bcoz there are many awesome 3rd camera out there.

Is the second back camera lens fake?

I know the title sounds a bit catchy but... The second lens of the Poco F1 is supposely for depth information.
We know that same result is achieved via software on the front lens.
On top of that, when I try to shoot in portrait mode with and without hiding the lens, I don't see any difference in the bokeh effect, or in the whole picture at all.
So my following question: is the second lens actually used or is the bokeh effect achieved via software?
Some "proofs" would be greatly appreciated!
it's a working camera but i dont know about how effective it is. you can try it out in the device maintenance page or by downloading Activity Launcher from playstore>All activities>CIT>second camera test. you can also check the ir camera there
Thanks to @nagoo1 I was able to test it with Activity Launcher. Attached samples from the same angle of view from the main and the second lens.
