Hi, this question is actually about an AT&T V35, but since that phone doesn't have its own sub and it shares a camera module with the G7, I figured I'd ask here. I love most things about the camera and UI, but when I take pics of high contrast environments, I get really nasty colors and black lines on every other pixel. This does not happen at all without HDR on. Any solutions or ideas? Stock LG cam, version 7.0.132.25. Here's a pic as an example, one is zoomed out, the other is full crop. I know going to GCam solves this, but I prefer the zoom UI on the stock LG camera.
Edit: It is not PWM in light power supply, as this happens with fluorescent and incandescent light sources and the lines are very sharp. The lines also occur top to bottom of the phone, meaning they are horizontal in landscape orientation.
Sorry if a V35 post isn't allowed here, please remove if so.

Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.
so with my old iphone, i could pull out the camera, and click where i wanted to focus. furthermore, if say.. i was taking a picture of someone near a bright light, and their face was really dark because the light was really bright, i could press near their face or somewhere dark, and the camera would adjust the lighting, and brighten up the face and darken the background.
so far that ive noticed, the g3 camera doesnt do that..is there one that does?
Camera FV-5 has touch to focus and touch to meter features. In fact it has many more controls, and is the only camera app for Android I have used since discovering it a few years ago.
Hello guys,
I foun a strange red "light" next to my front camera. Will upload a picture very soon, but has someone an idea, what it is? It is red, but only lights up, if screen is locked. When the screen is off, or unlocked the "light" is off to.
I have not found something similar here...
Please tell me it is not dangerous
Proximity sensor.

The teardown at https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+C+Teardown/62277 says at Step 4 "The front-facing camera assembly contains a 2 MP selfie cam, ambient light sensor, and what looks like a camera indicator LED." Full size photo at https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/NgYV6anKZIYNCi3p - if you get a blank screen look at your browser scroll bars, you may be viewing the top LH corner.
I've never seen the LED lit. The Nexus 9 has a notification LED that does nothing (possibly) and the thread ran to 90+ posts (including x-ray photos) http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/led-nexus-9-t2929379
This is the camera auto focus laser. It can be seen whenever the front camera is turned on. Google turns on your camera in the lock screen so it can use trusted face unlock - even if you have not enabled trusted face.

But why the red light is not glowing when taking photos with the front cam?
Still very mysterious
I wasn't able to see it while making a photo with Front camera. I'm not even sure, if I have seen the light before. I'm sure I haven't noticed it before, but it is quite bright. Can you see it too?
Over saturated*
My note 5, in ALL camera modes, does reddish photos. Only If i correct with PRO mode i can have decent photos. But isn't comfortable to change every time the settings for every light condition, or subject etcetera... this is an example of reddish photo.
Only with frontal camera. When I use flash, or I stay in a particular light condition, the reddish dissappear 90% or completely. Wtf? Help!!
Could be an effect that is active or HDR
Or maybe is yous screen colors
Hey
So I bought the phone (Note10+ 5G) about 3 days ago and everything was working fine even the selfie cam
But today when I changed live focus effect everything get ruined especially in low light
In the viewfinder there is a color flicker and a part of the screen changes to green or red effect
And everything get worse in video
Here is a 2sec sample in low light:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-3bzKBjWNgb2OtRRSEwcwiGFniwd5d9b/view?usp=drivesdk
So what is wrong here?
edit / nevermind, watched the video and do not understand your problem...
live focus ? color flicker?
In live focus the effect green/red exists as part of the background effect. Your video does not show anything since there is nothing to focus on. You need a face for it to show anything correctly.
And you can change the live focus effect at the bottom of the screen, you have several icons for this and the far right icon is the red/green thingy.
If you cannot manage to get the settings right, just reset the camera (settings -> scroll down to initialize parameters).
Also, do not activate HDR+ for videos (available for 1920x1080 30p). This option is in beta and is buggy with many colour artefacts.
he's trying to take **** pics in the dark. doesnt like the out come. he thinks filters can correct small penis syndrome.
