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.

1. Smart focus area selection
Simply draw some lines inside a focus area and the background, then AfterFocus will automatically recognize the focus area. You can also select the area with traditional finger painting.
2. Background Blur effect
You can create the most realistic blur effect with various aperture styles just like DSLR camera.
To emphasize that certain things move, Motion blur effect is also available.
3. Filter effect
AfterFocus offers from basic effects to professional effects like Cross Process without looking artificial.
Also, you can emphasize the spot light on the background using Bokeh effect.
4. Double photo (Pro version only)
Take a picture of one object and move slightly to the right to take another picture of the same object, and it will analyze the images and recognize the nearest object, so there is no need to draw the focus area.
(Make sure that the background and the distance of the object are far enough and have clear texture to get a great result.)
5. Easy share
You can share through e-mails and SNS easily and simply.

Free on the market
If you can not download it from the market due to incompatibility issues, use the apk I give you below
Personal opinion: Best app in its class, I really appreciate the ease of use. Im not a proffesional photographer and I dont wanna to make my photos look like em, but with this app I can easily get a cool effect in about 1 minute.

GET THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Interface
When you launch the app, you get a menu system that lets you choose
one of four options: capture, gallery, collage and share. Diving into each,
the UI is generally what you'd expect. The buttons are self-explanatory,
and you get a regular phone camera-style viewfinder.
Filters
PowerCam offers a decent set of filters, most of which are a bit too over-the-top
for my own taste. You get a standard set of minor filters to lightly tweak the coloring
of the scene that are quite nice, but the rest are a bit out there and I really don't
see many people using them. For the ones that I liked, it seemed to work well enough.
It should also be noted that there is a "no filter" mode for when you have the app open
and want a "regular" shot.
Tilt-Shift
The tilt-shift method, if you're not familiar, is something usually accomplished with
a special camera lens to produce interestingly focused images. The main subject
is sharply in focus, and everything else is quickly out of focus right next to it.
On a smartphone, its all done in post-processing. PowerCam seems to do a pretty
good job, and you can really get some good shots if you spend some time with it.
Panorama
I was surprised by the panorama quality. Using the app on my Galaxy Nexus,
it captured them more consistently and much quicker than the built-in panorama
feature of the Android 4.x camera.
Collages
Something that's going to be very user-dependent is the collage feature.
You can select several pictures you've taken and form them into framed multi-shot pictures.
The UI is friendly enough, just select from your picture list which ones you want,
and it'll arrange them randomly with a frame. You can shuffle the pictures around
and select the frame style, but I was hard-pressed to find frames that I actually enjoyed.
Sharing
PowerCam has built-in sharing functionality to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
Wish that it would use a regular sharing menu and let you use other apps (like Google+),
but it doesn't really matter, as you can share from your Gallery app to anything installed
on your phone after the fact.

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.

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
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:

Hi community!
I'm not really satisfyed with the flashlight intensity and the tourch function of the device. Compared to my old Mi 9 Lite the difference is tremendoes!
I tried to access the test menues via *#*#6484#*#* , went to the "Notification (LED) section and saw that there ist a slide control for the flash. It is set to 1/3 of the possible intensity. Setting it to max. reveals the whole potential of the flashlight and explains the bad lowlight picture quality while using the camera and also the mediocre torch function. Unfortunately ,as this is only a test there is no way to save the settings. Does any of you has an idea where the phone parameters can be modified? Path to the file?
I bought the phone because of the cam, among other things, but due to the above fact it turns to be worse than that of the 3 y.o. Mi 9 Lite!
I have a suspition that the reviewers used a different version of the device, since I cannot explain such high ranking for the camera.
I'd appreciate your help

how to get this seting permanently?
The path is:
/sys/class/leds/led:torch_0/brightness
Default value is 75.
You can do "echo 200 > /sys/class/leds/led:torch_0/brightness" but only when the flashlight is turned on.
When you turn it on again it will be 75.
Figured out a script that do:
watch -n3 "echo 160 > /sys/class/leds/led:torch_0/brightness"
But it's a nasty hack.
Don't have a clue how to do it better
How do you access the path?
Is root needed for this action?
So, for my understanding you were able to modify the flashlight parameters, but there's no way to save them?
Like I tried to modify the intensity as shown in the above screenshots - the setting are always back to the default ones
The default settings aren't good enough to shoot good pics under the low light conditions.
I wonder why did Xiaomi do that?
Yes, root is needed.
I just played with torch parameters. They reset to default 75 every turning on the flashlight. When the flashlight is on, it accepts new values, making the LED brighter. So i made a script that overwrites the brightnes every 3sek. It's the best I could think of
I'll try to modify the photo flash soon, but I don't think it will work. The flash is to short to have time to modify file.
