I've a problem with Camera and i want to know if it's for all G4 or for only my sample.
When i take photos with same setting (infinity manual focus), some time (most of all) they have blurry effect.
Two photos with same manual setting taken in the same moment:

Apparently they have same definition, but if i 100% crop:

Most of the photos i take have blurry effect, just some time they result perfect. The difference is more notable in landscape photos (with infinity focus) in the top left corner.
Do you have same problem?

You can't take pictures holding the camera and not encounter some movement, it's not physically possible and even with the OIS enabled that's just a stop-gap measure that does it's best to make sure the effects of slight jarring movement at the moment you press the button to take the picture are mitigated as much as possible.
tl;dr You're moving the camera if you're holding it, plain and simple.
Take pictures with the phone either set against something so you're not holding it and the phone is actually as steady as it can possibly be - use the voice command option to fire the shutter (turn it on and say "LG" or "Kimchi" or one of the other choices") so you don't have to manually touch the G4 at all to any degree whatsoever and then fire off a few shots and compare them.
The OIS isn't perfect and if you're timing a shot with a movement of the camera you're bound to get blurriness - the only absolutely sure way of getting steady crystal clear shots is shooting from a steady mount on a tripod or with the phone standing against a solid object and using the voice command to trigger the shutter.
OIS was reall invented to help as much as it can because most pics are taken while holding the camera and no human being is getting going to be able to be perfectly motionless in that respect. If you're holding the smartphone, period, in any position for any reason, you're moving it and your images will suffer because of it even with OIS working as well as it can.
Thanks for the answer, the problem is not the movement of the phone while shooting. I did several tests with tripodi and bluetooth remote control and the result did not change.
From various tests I've made I noticed that the problem only occurs when the focus is made with the tap on the display. Leaving focus continuos the possibility to take clear photo Is greater

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.

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.

Best Camera Features of the Honor 8X
The Honor 8X's camera is way better than other shooters in the same price range. Try these features to get the most out of your Honor 8X camera.
1. Aperture Mode
The trick to creating a great wide aperture effect is having a phone with a great camera and software that can accurately differentiate background object from foreground objects. The AI NPU chipset makes all the difference in this area. The phone's ability to identify different objects and and use the dual-cameras to recognize depth, means the Honor 8X can create extremely effective aperture mode effects. Get creative with this mode and see what kind of shots your can get.

}
2. Portrait
Portrait mode is done extremely well on this phone. If it's your first time using portrait mode, know that it's basically your phone detecting the outline of your head/body and blurring the background. The quality of this popular effect comes down to your phone being able to accurately trace your face and remove it from the backdrop.
The Honor 8X''s large 16MP selfie camera lets you take really detailed selfies that look amazing. Try out the portrait mode with your selfie camera and you're going to be really impressed with the results.
3. AI Mode
AI mode was the main feature advertised in this phone. Toggle it on and try it out. It can really bring out the color in some of your shots. If you don't like the way the effect looks, you can toggle it off afterwards in your galley. I have this feature toggled on at all times, since there's really no reason not to. Your original image is always preserved without the AI, so you can get rid of it later on.
4. Video Format (H.265) (H.264)
You can choose the format in which your videos are encoded. You have the option of H.265 or H.264. The H.265 option will give you a more compressed video resulting in a smaller file size. The H.264 option is a less compressed format and will have slightly higher quality video.
Go to Video > Settings > Video Size > Format. to access this option.
5. Edit Your Camera Menu
With all the different camera modes built into the default camera app, it's nice to be able to customize which modes your have quick access to.
From your camera app, go to More > Edit then you can rearrange all of your different camera modes.
I am using Honor 8x front camera potrait is not good edge detection is not well algorithm..
I am using Honor 8x and Its camera is Lit.. :silly:
I love this phone and I am glad to have found the GCam port. I will let the pictures do the talking.
Image of a napkin texture using the Native camera app (using manual mode and "Noise reduction" set to OFF) versus the Gcam app.
Native App: Manual mode with Noise reduction off, HDR-off, and it still botches the textures. It never truly turns noise reduction completely off.

Gcam: Night and day on texture quality
Yes, the postprocessing on native app is terrible and I wish it could be completely turned off.
And yet the LG Camera is the most requested feature you can NOT get in custom ROMs.
Because GCam port is still too beta for most people. But on custom ROMs that's all you can use.
If you don't like LG camera, don't use it.

Yes, the LG cam app isn't going to compete, where that level of detail is concerned, with the Gcam Ports.
Keep in mind, the Google phones don't have exceptional lens quality, in some cases even inferior to other flagships. But what it does do better than most all other oem's is the HDR(+ enhanced etc). Have you tried any shot in 'night sight' mode? Talk about a lot of post processing!
That said, the LG app really can't be beat in some circumstances. One issue is the double click vol down to launch even when phone in sleep mode. I don't know of a way to change which app gets launched with that, so if needed to take a 'quick snap' of something... there's that.
Another is the Gcam ports don't do selfies very well. the front lens either has a green tint, doesn't seem in focus, etc. The LG cam does very well, and has the selection for 'normal lens' or 'wide angle' (even though all it's doing is cropping the only lens on the front - wide angle).
I'd summarize it thus: The LG Cam app is all around great for most pictures. The Gcam ports will do much better in certain circumstances, such as getting a 35mm SLR type result with your phone camera (but certainly not always - you still have to know how to compose a picture etc).
It really comes down to... what do u need?
Well... if I ever need a picture of a napkin, I know what to use Personally, I use both apps, whatever the circumstances call for.
Cheers
All what GCam does is some basic tweaking to the image. You can easily and very quickly do that by yourself with the stock editing tool and get even better results than GCam. You don't even need to shoot manual or RAW, auto mode is enough. Just try it
Except for night sight unfortunately, we do need it ? Sadly it crashes more times than it works ?
PS: looks like your "stock" napkin picture is out of focus. The camera can only focus effectively from a minimum distance, you need to back up a little more.
