Hi Been using a V50 for a couple of days comig from a V30. Regarding RAW capture with the stock camera the output seems much worse than the V30 - the DNG files have vignetting and are very desaturated, noting like the output on the V30 and previous LG phones that had this corrected. Using...

Hi Been using a V50, that is identical to the V40 camera wise, for a couple of days comig from a V30. Regarding RAW capture with the stock camera the output seems much worse than the V30 - the DNG files have vignetting and are very desaturated, noting like the output on the V30 and previous...

Yes, manual mode is very good and can be better than any GCAM except maybe in tricky lightning situations. In manual at least you have more control of the final product. I started using manual mode on the LG V20 because it was around that time that LG began to process too much the jpeg for my...

Camera quality Thanks for the comparison - very helpful! I have a V30 and was thinking of upgrading to a V40 but the camera quality doesn't seem better.... Do any of Cstark's versions install on v40? I think he has best Gcam for LG's. Thanks

Photos What a great comparison! Thanks! The LG V30 seems the best on all of the shots you posted. It seems like the Gcam port is better on this one, don't you agree?

Well, GCAM has its pros and cons. I still prefer stock RAW but GCAM has its uses in more challenging lightning conditions. I'm using a V30 with version 18C1 from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-fu24/ It almost never crashes and It has much more details than...

Wow, that's a lot of good material to analyse. Nice pictures! Thank you very much! Image quality seems good, although there's a bit of noise reduction that reduces the detail - It's LG's signature nowadays... Have you tried shooting in RAW or using a GCAM port? Thanks again

Camera quality Hi, I'm thinking of buying one in Portugal. It has just been released. Do you think the camera quality is better than the normal G8? Can you post some samples? Thanks!

RAW Isn't it possible to switch to the wide angle and telephoto on 3rd party apps like open camera? It doesn't make sense sony locking it even if the JPEG are great. LG phones have RAW on all lenses for years altought JPEG processing in the later models is not very good.

Noise reduction Hi! Nice, I always found the auto mode a downgrade from th G4. I always have to shoot in RAW to get a decent picture. It's funny that the RAW pictures from the stock camera are different than the GCAM ones... Do these mods work on stock camera or only on GCAM? Ah, and do they...

I have a V20 and I've used google camera on Nougat and now on Oreo. I think it crashed less on nougat. I'm using CSTARK 3.7 as it seems to be one of the best ones for the LG, compatibility wise. I haven't touched the settings, do you have made some changes you recommend? As for the noise...

Oreo I find Google camera HDR mode very potent but the app is a bit buggy. On Oreo you have a option when on Manual Mode to remove noise reduction in the pictures. It doesn't remove it completely but there's an improvement when compared to Auto Mode.

I would love to try those mods but the root process on my H99ODS is a bit complicated... I'm now trying SNAP CAMERA HDR and I must say it's a very interesting app. Using Camera2Api and removing all noise reduction in the options (it's off by default) the JPEGs come out much better. It kinda...

Wow, nice work! I'm actually enjoying the gcam port. The portrai mode is awesome but the processing is very slow - after taking 5-6 in a row the phone heats up and lags as hell! In general pictures I think the colours are much better than the stock camera bot the focus is too soft at times...
