Hello recently my pictures with flash using the default (and WhatsApp) camera have been way too dark.
The phone seems to flick twice before taking a picture and that causes the dark effect (I think).
If using Manual Camera I can set the shutter and flash settings and the problem is gone but sometimes it also flicks twice and gives me a dark picture.
Using unrooted locked bootloader stock android, phone is out of warranty and there is no support from Google or LG here.

So here's the problem, guys:
Whenever I try to take 720p, after clicking the camera button to finish the recording it slides the video, but the camera remains black and doesn't show anything (freezing).
You can use HOME button to go the main menu, but still after relaunching camera app it slides the photos but no image from camera at all.
It starts working again only after rebooting. Got NoDo, changed registry setts only in unlock state and dehydration.
UPD: it also freezes sometimes even at capturing 480, but not always. in about 40-50%.
Hi
On my G4 the front camera looks like it has become cropped and doesn't fit the whole screen, see attached image. I have tried restarting the phone.
Any ideas why this has happened, if I use the main camera it is fine and if I use dual mode it is also fine, it wasn't always like this, i have changed the ratio settings and that doesn't do anything.
Anyone else had this?
You have the flash mode on. Turn off the flash icon and it will go back to normal.

Ah, so the "flash" mode on the front camera is actually using the whiteness of the screen itself for illuminating your face as it faces the white screen? Clever...
Ahhaaaaa thank you was driving me crazy!
FYI it does this too if you lowered the screen DPI. The rear camera is fullscreen but the front camera is letterboxed.
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

So I know about the typical camera issues that this phone has, however, when I noticed the built-in camera app start having issues with the rear camera, I also noticed the LED flash was also starting to go black in the bottom left corner.
Does the LED need to be working in order for the camera to work?
I also cannot use the flashlight, as it shows the error that it can't be used in Camera or other apps (no surprise, positive it's burnt out).
This issues applies if you are using a launcher which has the google app on left swipe of the home screen. If you kept your phone on maximum battery saver mode (which uses 720p resolution) for a while and then changed back to 1080p or 1440p resolution, then the pics in the news articles appear distorted. The only way to fix it is to clear the google app data or reboot the phone. Is there any other solution?
