I own LG G8, It does have Video in Portrait Mode at very early stage, Does LG V60 also have this? or did they drop that idea?

It does have this. Long pressing on the shutter button while in portrait mode will switch to video portrait mode. Additionally the tooltip blurb mentions both photo and video uses.

Hey,
yesterday, I accidently recorded a video into portrait mode. First, i didn't know how that happend, because i held the phone in landscape mode
I run some tests and found the feature/problem (however).
If you hold the phone for a short while in portrait mode (even 1 sec) and start recording the video, it remains recorded in portrait mode, even if you hold it most of the time in landscape mode.
Is there any solution to turn videos back into landscape mode? maybe without loosing quality?
You could try Avidemux or some other video editor to rotate, but you will have to reencode which means at least some quality loss I guess
But I am wondering how you even get the camera to record your video rotated, because the photo's and video's I shoot rotated do show correctly (rotated) on my phone, but when I transfer them to my PC they are all regular landscape
edit: The information about the orientation of the phone during recording is in the metadata, but I cannot find much information about players that support it Youtube however does recognize the metadata and shows the video with the correct orientation
My last phone had a sweeping panoramic feature as well, but I could capture the photo in portrait mode or landscape, and also sweep right, left, up, or down (though not all in one photo). Any way to do the same on this phone?
Also, how do I stop the photo without sweeping all the way?

I don't know how to stop the recording. This is very annoying because sometimes it doesn't even save the "small" panorama you made but quits with an error message.
Creating a panorama in horizontal is also not possible.
To change the swipe direction open the panorama mode and tap on the icon shown in the middle on the left side. It supports Right->Left, Left->Right, Top->Down and Down->Top.

Coming from the Note series I must admit I was a little disappointed in the panorama function on this phone. The quick and easy fix for me is to use Google's camera app to take panoramic shots.
So I've had the phone for a couple of weeks an am loving the camera. However there are a few things I've not been able to figure out with regards to the camera, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction:
1: When in Auto mode or Manual mode, I can't seem to turn on OIS. The OIS icon is grayed out. Can I use OIS in these modes? If so, how do I turn it on? In what modes is OIS available?
2: Is there anyway of changing the default metering mode? Even on my old Galaxy S4 I could switch between Matrix metering, Center weighted and Spot metering.
3: Is there any way of taking bracketed shots?
4: Why when in manual mode do the various controls not rotate between landscape and portrait modes. When I'm holding the phone vertically the WB, MF, ISO etc.. controls are in landscape mode.
I do own Camera FV-5 and I know that solves some of these issues. Does anyone know if FV-5 will use OIS?
Any Insight is appreciated.
1. You might have issue with your phone. Click on auto, then settings wheel, when switching it takes between 1-3 seconds from gray to white.
Manual mode does not have OIS available.
2. Metering mode. Sorry, can't switch. I know, it sucks.
3. Bracketed shots, ?.
4. It has to do with the widened of the screen . They set the UI up like that. The settings and flash will rotate but not the others. Maybe update to LG's camera UI in future will bring that.
Nope, the OIS won't turn on.
Is this something I need to check with Verizon on?

1. OIS/Steadyshot option is available on Auto mode for rear camera (See attached). I think in manual mode it defaults to OIS, and SteadyShot in Manual Video Mode. (See Pic attached).
2. I was missing this feature as well, no different metering option unfortunately. The only thing I noticed that works is a spot metering using the FFC, you can touch a spot and the metering will be based on your spot of choice.
3. No Bracketed Shots in the default camera app as well, need to look into 3rd party apps. There's only burst mode, which is different, and even then it's only with the FFC.
4. THIS is my biggest pet peeves as well, such a bad UX design. You would think that they would take into account that people will use the phone in both orientation instead of just landscape. This problem doesn't just happen in camera mode unfortunately. I wished the 2nd screen icon will rotate as well when you put your phone in landscape mode because currently it's fixed into portrait.

1: I cleared data and cache data on the camera app and that seemed to fix it. I know have OIS again.
2&3 frustrating, but I guess that's why I have Camera FV-5.
4: My second screen icons all rotate to landscape and back to portrait. Weird that your's don't.

I tried Manual Camera app the other day, you can bump the FFC ISO up past the default setting on that one. I think I could bump it up to like ISO 12800, and yes it looks like **** lol. But it's an option.
Are you talking about the second screen within the camera app? In camera app, yes it rotates. Other than that, no they don't rotate. Like say when you're watching a video or doing something else in landscape mode, my second screen is fixed into portrait mode. So when a text or notification comes in, they don't roll the "correct" way.

My second screen rotates regardless of the app I'm in. You may want to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue. if not I'd go back to the store and do an exchange.
I've not heard of the manual camera app. What does it bring that the stock or Camera FV-5 don't?
I've noticed that I am unable to rotate the panorama feature to landscape mode... I have never had a phone unable to change the orientation of the panorama snapshot feature.
Try to replicate it like this: Rotate your phones orientation 180*, the camera buttons should rotate correctly. Now if you have the same issue as I, the panorama bar should stay in a vertical position.
They come out like crap if I take the panorama shot vertically, its center pivot point screws up the image versus it being in landscape mode to get a wider shot.
Anyone else experience this?
Auto-Brightness, FFC low light issues, and this issue are all making me decide against this phone.
Mine works fine.
Here's what it looks like. Portrait mode vs landscape mode. Pay attention to the camera buttons to distinguish between them.
Really weird bug.
When you first use the camera in Panorama mode, the phone flashes up a message saying you have to use the phone in portrait.
So it's not a bug, it's an intentional thing by LG. Why they do it is probably Reasons.
I've reflashed, reinstalled, and re-setup my phones so many times over the years. Must have glossed over the pop up at one point.

In landscape mode?
I'm using the h860 version and I also noticed this and I didn't read the pop up message that I can only use the panorama in portrait mode. That's fine with me, it can still produce the best panorama I've ever seen....
LG G6 Panorama
Yes. Why on earth did L.G. spoil a magnificent phone with this lack of thought. Not being able to take panoramas in landscape mode defeats the whole object of using the feature.
This and the discontinuance of the home screen instant call icons were a very bad change in the new phone that would otherwise have been close to perfect.
Also why did they discontinue the use of the colour changing L.E.D. on the new version.
Hi All,
I heard that the Google camera with portrait mode is working in many devices.
Google camera uses its own algorithm with single camera to create portrait mode pics.
I am curious to know whether we can have an app to convert normal picture in phones album to portrait mode picture.
Thanks
Nik
