LG G4 save as RAW on automatic - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
Does anyone know if the lg g4 supports shooting in RAW in automatic mode? Or is in manual mode only? If so kinda a bummer. I spent about 10 min looking around but doesn't seem so.
Thanks.

Manual mode only, but you have to activate this

That's what I've seen so far as well and some reviews confirm it - RAW is only available in manual mode..

Can a custom camera app fix this?

If you just go into Manual mode, and don't make exposure adjustments, I think it will basically behave like Auto. It just shows more info and options on the screen.
But you could use Manual mode to also get RAW output, without really requiring more attention/fiddling by the user.

Manual mode are same as auto mode but you can access extra setting within it..
LG auto mode seems laggy when comes to environment changing from light to dark..
That's what manual mode come into used
Manual mode also save 2 different file, standard jpeg and raw(if its enable) and the jpeg processing quality is same in auto..
The downside of manual setting is it's locked exposure setting if ae-l is enabled that's is when we're playing with iso and shutter speed.
See attachment..that's auto in manual mode

You could make some changes to camera_config or media_profiles.xml to force RAW in auto. You might break something, but you can probably do it that way.

Agreed, just set the camera to manual mode and use it as though it's in automatic - it will adjust itself automatically as though it were still in auto mode, so long as you don't start fiddling with the settings.
About the only thing you'll not get in manual mode is automatic HDR photos - I think that's the only thing that won't automatically happen in manual mode, the only difference from auto mode.

Camera

the camera on the phone sucks at night does anybody know if there is a registry edit to enable a night mode or can it even be done maybe even a low light mode thanks for any and all help in advance
Night Mode
In the camera settings, there is a night option in the Whit Balance settings
I concur with nickf123654's suggestion of adjusting the white balance setting. But don't expect to be able to take photos outdoors at night all of a sudden.

LG G4 video flash

Hi, is there any way of turning off the bright led flash on the rear of the phone when recording a video. A lot of people tell me when i am recording something even in daylight that it is blinding. Thanks in advance

Mine seems to follow the flash settings shown on the screen, if I'm using Auto mode.
If I have it set to always use the flash (lightning symbol), it uses the light during a video. If I have the flash disabled (crossed-out lightning symbol), it does not use the light. Auto-flash mode (lightning with an "A"), it decides whether or not to use the light.
Try manually disabling the flash. If you're in Simple mode, try changing to Auto mode, then disabling the flash.
Thanks v much, that has fixed the issue

Save quick settings for camera manual mode?

Has anyone tried to create or save any manual camera mode quick settings? For instance, something that would launch the camera in manual mode with the shutter and ISO locked in for motion photography, and another for low light photography? It seems like 90% of the time that I launch the manual camera, I'm going for one of these 2 things. It'd be convenient if most of the settings were already locked in where I want them to end up! :good:
This makes no sense to me, because the light conditions are not always the same. One setting may work in the scenario you created it, but not for another, even if they are similar. By the way, I have this function on my D7100, but I only find using it when shooting with artificial lights (speedlight).

Example of banding

I get banding in the camera when in manual mode. Haven't experienced it in auto mode yet, but TBD. I thought it was on screen only, but now I'm getting it in output. So weird. Heads cut out for privacy.
It's to do with the frequency your lights work with. If its 60hz, then you want to use 1/60 or 1/30 or 1/120
Any other shutter will produce those bands.
If your lights work at 50hz, then you have to use 1/50, 1/25 or 1/100
The shutter speed needs to be a multiple of the frequency your lights work with
Applies with video too
There's no way it's only at 60hz lights. I've had it happen in different rooms at my place, and both at my parents and at my in-laws.
If those lights run on utility power they are all flickering at 60Hz.
LED's can be different.
Did you try setting shutter for those speeds. It will make a bigger difference with video if auto isn't able to correct for it

LG/Oreo update: Low light camera test (Bright Mode)

Here is my test for the new features of the camera in low light, and especially the new Bright Mode.
For the manual mode, this is not a test. It was with the auto settings (button on the right) just for reference. We know that it can deliver a better pic.
1- Auto Mode: Auto, Bright mode OFF
2- Bright Mode: Auto, Bright mode ON
3- AI Mode
4- Gcam Arnova v7Beta9: Auto
5- Manual Mode: Auto settings
