These are typical settings for any camera that will accept manual settings.
White balance basically measures the color 'temperature' to get the most accurate colors possible.
ISO is light sensitivity. It can be altered from automatic for different lighting situations manually.
I believe metering is the location the camera will take a sample check for lighting level to give the best overall light balance for the WHOLE picture. For instance, center is default and if there were a lit light bulb in the center of the picture you are taking, it would correct the lighting of the entire photo just based on that area.

deff the type of answer i was looking for..so there is no optimal setting for those reasons, correct? is there a camera app that automatically attempts to set most options for best picture/results that anyone knows of our would recommend? thanks
ps. any thought from anyone on the auto contrast setting or any other important but not mentioned setting?

Typically, most of these settings are set to Auto to make it easy to take photos. Most amateur and pros will adjust the settings manually to get the best possible picture.
The settings can be changed manually to adjust for different environments.
I guess a good example would be a dimly lit room. You can take a picture with the flash and it may be an acceptable photo. However, if you know what settings to use (and it's a good quality camera), you do not need the flash and the quality of the photo will be completely different. This is also why you see professional photographers use several light stands to provide more indirect lighting because using a flash can wash out and cause unpleasant shadowing effects in photos.

Use key backlight as notification?

Has anyone implemented this yet? I'm surprised I've not seen anything about it as the notification LED is so poor compared to the multicolored one I had on my galaxy nexus. Being able to use the key backlight would be a good improvement.

thats possible like On the Galaxy S its Called BLN, but I guess It will consume a bit more power.

BLN requires a kernel mod to support it which, as far as i'm aware, isn't present in any of the custom kernels.

yes, if allot of people want this, we could make this step

I don't know how useful this would be - I would much rather have full control of the notification light i.e. how long to blink notification light for after receiving a notification and which apps activate notification light.

Nothing can beat the N1 trackball alert
The One X notification light is smaller than a needle point

Is there no interest in this then?

BLN had this huge problem where it would cause a wake lock and prevent the device from going to deep sleep; thus draining a lot of juice.

Lowering screen minimum brightness

Is there a way to lower the minimum brightness of the screen?
I have tried several app, but even the rooted ones seemed only to create a filter of black pixels.
I'd like to actually lower the brightness, not simply create a filter.
I've tried Lux Auto Brightness, CF Lumen, but they didn't seem to work the way I want.
Can anyone help me please?

Try the autobrightness mod on these forums. It's here somewhere. There isn't a way to lower the screen lower than it can physically go without overlaying it.

Thanks mate. I tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/mod-lower-autobrightness-values-t3054000, but I can't really tell if it works or not, I'm gonna test it better once I get home!

Screen Filter
This is the best i've tried.
Screen Filter
This is the module's page in Xposed Module Repository
Very easy to turno on, and even easier to turn off.

Thanks for your answer, but Screen Filter seems to work by overlaying black pixels on the screens, that's not what I want. It is the perfect app if you have an amoled screen, but on the LG G3 isn't the best...

I see. I use it to read in my bead at night.
You seek for real hardware reduction. Good luck in your quest...

I use root dim (root) works pretty good at night

Any way to adjust screen color hue?

error in titile: should wrote "saturation" instead of "hue"
Is there a special tweak app or XPosed module to reduce color saturation of the screen?
I like more "calm" colors than HTC 10 provides in settings. I've set screen mode to sRGB but colors are still too popping. I was using Zenfone 2 before and i liked the way they allowed to adjust the saturation in standard settings.

If you use the Elemental X kernel you can use the EX Kernel Manager app to adjust saturation, etc.

I would think so. I know a few folks are running Elemental X on their 10.

There is app called screen adjuster on google play store. Which help you to do it

Nope. Such apps can only adjust brightness or add some tint.
Color saturation can be adjusted only through kernel tweaks - which means app should be exactly for HTC 10, not generic one.

Stock Camera - Pro Mode

I think that the stock software attempts to boost shadow detail to the point that it sacrifices blacks and contrast. I also think the color temperature seems far too warm. While I'm sure Google Camera is the preferred solution, has anyone been using the "Pro Mode" with success? If so what tips do you have? What do your settings look like? What do you pre-set and what do you leave on automatic?
Here is how I have the manual controls set and so far I feel like I'm getting better pics. I still don't know the best settings for "metering" but I'm looking into it. Another note, I think that the images come out a bit less "processed" as well in Pro Mode.

Interested in same. Following.

Also interested, I tried using pro mode but noticed auto gave nicer pictures overall (with pro there was overexposure at light sources for example, or the overall balance was less good). But the auto/default pictures overall are a bit too bright to my liking, I also installed Camera FV-5 which has an RGB histogram option and the red seems overrepresented in there (I notice this mainly in house).
Might give it another try soon, it does remember the settings rigth?

Yes it remembers the settings. My initial issue was color temp. The whites on the stock software are simply not white. I made some adjustments and I'm much happier with the color temp a bit cooler. For example:
