I Know the camera is capable of this, you can repeat, go on camera in auto mode and take a pic in complete darkness. Check the meta data and it says 6400ISO but I can't seem to use it in Manual mode, or in video.
Also does anyone know an app to stop the video shutter speed dropping below 30, it makes it very blurry and it should go to 6400ISO instead of dropping speed

Don't know about using 6400 ISO in manual mode, but I do know you can stop the video shutter speed going below 30 by changing video quality in the settings from Quality to Performance. I couldn't figure out what the difference was for the longest time, they both had the same bitrates and quality levels. I eventually figured out that it refers to the minimum shutter speed the camera can use in video - Quality will slow it down as far as it can to ensure proper exposure, whereas Performance will keep it locked to 30 and above. Quality seems to be a bit too aggressive, slowing down the shutter speed by quite a lot in even fairly-lit situations where simply increasing the ISO would suffice. I keep it changed to Performance for this reason.

Thankyou, it did bug me at first when I was talking G about my shiny new 4K video recording phone and it turned to a blurry mess, this will help a lot, thanks!
