Is there a way of having separate shortcuts to the video and stills camera modes? I'd like to have quick 1-touch access to either the stills camera or the video camera, without having to go into the camera settings and select the mode once in the app.
Yes. spb Mobile Shell (well worth the money...get rid of Windows default and TouchFlo 3D). Once loaded just hold your finger down on the home screen to enter edit mode. Then click the + button in lower right corner. Then choose the Shortcut icon. hen choose Multimedia. Then choose Camera. Now you have the option of choosing either Photo or Video. I have the two icons side by side and can pull up either Camera or Video with the touch of one button.
Hey,
There's any way we can have the camera in portrait by default? I mean it takes 2 pictures anyway so if we want the one without portrait we just need to swipe left... This because a lot of the times I forget to put the portrait mode on.
So anyone knows if there's any chance to have portrait mode as default in camera? Just jump in it with double power button and take a fast picture and it will be in portrait.
Cheers
Not that I know of. If anything, it would be nice if it was a quick tap away like flash and HDR options. Personally, I wouldn't want it as default because it crops a lot.

If you use Tasker with the plugin "AutoInput", you can get it to tap on the menu button to reveal the sidebar and then tap the portrait mode option.
I know, not the "cleanest" way of doing things but it's still less tapping/work for you!
I have taken a picture of my dog with my Galaxy S9 and the dog has red eyes, when I use the camera I don't change the settings just leave it on AUTO. now I bring up the picture and click in top right hand corner (settings) and go down to "Open in Photo Editor Pro" now I have been told it brings up an option called Portrait and you go in there an there is an option to correct the red eye BUT for some reason it doesn't give me this option and I have no idea what I am doing wrong or why it won't work, so I am hoping someone can please let me know if I have to change a setting or something for this option to work properly.....

Portrait is only available if it detects a human face
Plenty of other 3rd party editing apps for red eye, search Google play

A better solution is gonna be to use snapseed. full featured yet beginner friendly and easy to use. plus a lot more features than built in samsung solution.
I know I heard that night sight isn't available yet, but where is auto focus tracking, top shot, and live lens? Just got my white 128gb Pixel 3 XL and none of those features are present.

They all work on my phone.
Lens, is in More. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get top shot going, nor auto focus tracking in video...
You do the updates...go to camera app and select more?

auto focus tracking is done by tapping a subject on the screen.
night sight already works, check these forums.
top shot: Open camera app in your Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Now take a picture with your device, Now open the picture you took with your Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Swipe up the screen until you see photo details, Now move finger left or right until you see recommended. You can pick the recommended one as the best picture.
Lens is supposed to work in the regular viewfinder for the camera, not as a separate mode. Top Shot does not work. Super res zoom does not work. Anyone know what's up with these features?

Night sight is in a modded camera apk. I know all about that.
Interestingly enough, auto focus tracking only started working in the stock camera AFTER installing the modded camera apk (CameraP3) .
But still no super res zoom or top shot in stock camera on the Pixel 3 XL.

Top shot works. Make sure motion is on (not auto). Like someone mentioned above, after photo is taken view the photo and swipe up, you'll see a bunch of photos taken with the top shot selected.

With motion set to on, it works, but isn't anywhere near as intuitive as other videos I've seen. I have to click on the preview, then swipe up, THEN click on recommended shots, then I'm able to check out the top shots. I thought you just swiped up from the viewfinder and it immediately took you to the top shot of the last photo you took.

Yeah, I've seen several videos where they show just that; they take the picture and it's there, they don't leave the camera for the preview or any of that. Some editing going on there I guess. At any rate I had expected to find it in the camera app. Same with adjusting the bokah on portraits, I expected a slider in the camera screen, not having to switch to the preview and then fiddle it from there. In other words some reviews have led me to believe I could do it both during and after taking the photo. IMO opinion thats most def how it should be. Overall the camera app isn't as easy to figure out as with a sammy where you can figure things out just clicking around. I had to do an internet search to find out how to do the top shot.

yup "motion on" is not the same thing as top shot for me.
So where is top shot at

Except it is. Make sure it is on and not auto, take a picture, click on the picture on the bottom right, then swipe up. You'll see a bunch of pictures from left to right (pretty small), you can either click on one, or slide one way. Trust me, it's there. I used it last night.
From what I see, the best quality overall picture is the one you initially see (the clearest + people smiling). However, I selected some different ones because I liked the way my kids looked better in some other shots. Overall, I really dig.
Yeah, we understand it's there, the comment refers to the idea that if you have to resort to an internet search to figure out how to turn on a headline feature in a camera app the camera app GUI needs improvement. Why would I expect I need to turn on a seemingly unrelated setting called "motion on" to turn on top shot which itself has no switch enabling it anywhere in the settings? Not exactly intuitive.

Ah, true. I didn't know until this thread myself. They need to add a button that says top shot I think.
This has really surprised me as my V20 and V30 both had that option in their excellent camera options menu.
Got it on mine. LG820UM
I have it on the US T-Mobile version, which version do you have?
On the Camera app, swipe the text (Camera, Video) to left and select more, then you will see Panorama.
We even have 360 pano as well, and you can take a vertical pano with the phone held in landscape.
When you tap "more", all the other modes appear. When you tap the pencil icon, you may rearrange the modes in the sliding menu, as well as in the More menu. I have only 5 sliding menu options, so I can see them all without swiping: Pano, AI Cam, Auto, Night, More. Then when I tap More, I have the manual modes at close reach.
Only two issues bother me here (well, 3 really). First, the More menu can sometimes rearrange itself. No matter how many times I try, it still forces AR Stickers to the closest menu item. This wouldn't be an issue if they'd address my second problem and let us hide modes we'll never use. I hate AR stickers, Food mode, and will likely never use Youtube Live. For me these are just overcrowding the menu and wasting space. My third issue is that they never had to redesign the camera app in the first place. The text-based swipe mode menu is a huge waste of space, and it often thinks fine tuning the sliders in Manual is actually a swipe to the next Mode (unless you're jjjuuuuuuust perfect with thumb placement).
LG should not have jumped on the Apple style bandwagon. If we wanted a Korean Apple, we'd buy Samsung. With how un-Apple the restvof the phone is, and how well-designed the app was before, the choice here is a little baffling.
Instructions, including the in-app help text, are incorrect on panorama. DrivenKeys has it right.
In my case (Canadian G8), the panorama and time lapse mode were not installed by default.
When clicking "More", at the top right corner, beside the Pen icon to rearrange the order of the icons, I have a download button.
This brings straight to LG SmartWorld store where pano and time lapse mode are downloadable.
Hope this helps!
