Camera Quality - LG Optimus G (International)

My LG Optimus G arrived today. Phone is awesome except camera quality. It is disappointed me. My prev phone optimus black taking more better pics with 5mpx camera. Is there anyway or tricks for improve cam quality?

Use this...it's something.

If the hardware is good, maybe LG could do something better in the future with their stock Rom. By the way, you can use another camera app, try procapture, the automatic mode of the stock app could be better. I use to change mostly the white balance

How does the quality compare between original ROM and CM?

no difference at all,except hdr which pretyy fc up on cm

Optimus G quite possibly got most terrible camera in 8mpx/13mpx segment, in entire world.
Its just crap.
HTC never ever good a good camera eiter, but if you compare with the G, they are pretty good.

Well if the motorcycle has a broken engine, then the bike is probably faster.

maybe 2-3 dayslater ill give you some samples..i also have my previous optimus black..but since my sister use that phone i cant take a same scene with G n Black rite now..ill setting default for both phone before take a picture..actually, im just converting my F180L to E975 about 10 minutes ago..in that case im kinda bz to setting my phone(bring back my network)..hope u can wait okay senior??..

This is software related, just change the setting to manual ISO and it'll be much better.
Same goes if you use "LG Camera" from the play store.

By converting to e975 u wont gain nothin with camera..
i is just same hw just not in korean lng. ..,
Optimus G camera is great outside in daylight and very poor in dark
Best when is sunshine ..

There is one way which helped me. .. always select sunset mode before capturing. It enhances contrast levels and color reproduction.. hope it will work for you too

Sorry for late reply, this some pictures taken yesterday..everyone can compare between Black vs G..surprised me Black was awesome but G still better for me..

Now, redo these tests, only with OEM Camera and with this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
You'll see, the issue is software related.

Just installed original LG camera on cm10, no difference at all with the stock cm10 app.

already installed n everybody can see the differences between stock LG camera vs market lgcamera..for me its just a little bit different which is market lgcamera more quality but in fact it came with double capacity MB storage..(stock camera 3-4mb vs lgcamera 7-8mb)..

Lol can't agree more with you xD
Samsung's many 'features' are just a piece of bloatware,which more take space than Sony...for eg. My Xperia ion have default 16gb,with Sony's modification and partitions,I got 11.23gb for internal storage and 1.9gb for phone's memory...but for Samsung 16gb type,their internal storage that are available to use is only around 8gb due to bloatware

Actually I have, and its the exact same camera in the ion. And many photo tests against my old htc vivid sony doesnt compare with its soft over compressed photos. You have to be a fanboy to deny HTC is miles ahead so im stopping here. Ive spent many yrs of my life as a photographer and I know exactly what im doing. Sorry to break the news to ya :beer:

S3 Camera
HTC cameras have better quality than the Xperia S'.. I did a comparison with an HTC one and my Xperia S..
I agree the Galaxy S3 cam is not as good as Sony's, but the main reason i want a port of it is for the real-time colour filters..
Any way i can get a replacement app with those features??

Well I hope the new phones are better than the lumia 920. Got rid of that phone after 1 day. The camera was awful. Photos look like paintings and the white balance is out to lunch. Sure it picked up alot of light in low light, zoom in to check the detail and its disgusting.
The N8 was and still is wicked good. The purview 808 is honestly not much better than the HTC One ultrapixel camera. I have hopes Nokia will soon get it right and ill easily jump to windows phone to have it.
Im not a fanboy of any company, as you can see in my sig ive owned htc, samsung, sony, lg, ive owned nokia and iphones as well.
I get phones, I test cameras and compare so I dont have to go online and do it. Thats where you will strongly be meeting fanboyism.
Right now, HTC One and iPhone 5 are killers. But Nokias new lumia is coming, ill be testing that.

[Q] About T2 ultra Camera Quality at 4.4.2

I just recently bought Xperia T2 ultra and after buying and charging it I updated to Kitkat 4.4.2
just realized something about the camera after the update, it get more noise than usual
is it hardware related or it's software problem which can be solved at kitkat 4.4.4 update later ?
Just asking, cause this phone is not that cheap for me
Any answer would be really appreciated
Thank you

yeah,when zooming still have some noise...but i dont really care because i didnt use zoom option so frequently..
No matter which app you use, the results are same, can see plenty of misssing pixels when zoomed in, thats because the Exymor RS sensor in our phone has a poor quality.
The picture quality depends mainly on the quality of the sensor and not the amount of megapixels of the camera or the app used to take pics.
Ive seen better photos in micromax smartphone cameras, like Canvas HD and Canvas 4, they were crystal clear when zoomed in. Its sad that Sony, inspite being such a reptuted company, uses sub standard sensors and cheats its consumers.

You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724128 its for the build prop changes...
The x-reality can be found in the cross device development,but don't use the one ported from Z1 because many users complain about it..and i have tried that once..
No,i don't use any module for improving the image quality...
Just bought it last week and realized that when taking photos there is time for the autofocus and then taking the picture.
So if you want to take a picture of a moving object then you will probably fail
Anything we can do to make it faster? Any camera app that can do better than this?
Really appreciate any help / suggestion

We don't really know about the shutter speed.
but I tried to ask the sony internal that to improve the shutter speed better change the focus mode to other like "touch focus" or "object tracking"
an update may improve it but it's hard they said
just experiment with the setting
ISO at 800 give faster shutter but more noise though

Best Camera App (Free)

Hello guys as the title said i'm trying different apps for my camera so far i've been impressed with camera360 ultimate and the google camera (I can't decide between the two), what do you think it will be better for the Moto G? Do you know a better app? Thanks.
Camera 360 has loads of effects so I use that for selfies or other similar photography.
However it is slow for normal photography(landscape or just for fun). So in such cases I use stock moto camera or aosp camera. Google cam is also nice.

Since I updated here recently from .59 to .160 the pictures look about the same but the camcorder is horrible now but then again Toshiba makes crap so it wouldn't surprise me if it's a hardware issue. It'll be interesting to see if others have any problems.

If ur shooting mode is turbo then resolution would be 5mp and if you use manual mode more often then you will be able to capture better pics.

Worth upgrade to oneplus 3?

Does it worth to update it from v10? Please tell me your opinions.

Depends. V10 is an excellent phone but I guess the freedom that OP3 provides in terms of rooting and customization is better than V10. I upgraded from Note 4 for the same reason.

Sent from my awesome LG V10 Black
its been just 20 days since the launch and we have over a couple hundred threads with close to a million views. i guess that qualifies the worth of it.
so if u want a phone with awesome development, this is it after nexus of course.
and yeah camera is good too. m not a photomaniac but the overall performance i've gotten up until now doesn't leave me wanting more.
Camera, screen & sound ... LG
Interface, processor & dev ... Op3
You takes your pick
Thx for the fast answers friends. Can the camera shoot in 16:9 format without dropping megapixel?
Also the no sd card support is a big minus for me but 64gb sounds good.

Yes it drops the resolution when shooting in 16:9. But that being said I think the still image quality is very good.

I wouldn't say better but they are very close and I can't pick a winner between them. I think the sub par video quality is due to software issues which can be fixed in future updates. But this is just speculation.
Not worth it. Wait until they fix all bugs (which are many).
