Low light

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the LG G8's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Amazon low light. Comparable to the S10 in my opinion. Utilize RAW for best results if you are familiar with processing photos.

Are you using the manual mode, or night view mode? I only see raw options in manual.

Either way, I totally agree. Night shots can look very nice with just a bit of attention.

From the few low light pics I've taken with my G8s (yes, technically not a G8, but if you are impressed with the samples I posted below then I guess you would be even more impressed with the actual G8 because it has a superior camera), I can say I was pleasantly surprised. One thing to note though, the results are waayyyyyyyy better with the Google Camera port. Like some YouTube reviewer said (can't remember who it was), LG's Night View isn't aggressive enough. It still makes a difference, just not a huge one. So yes for Low light pictures I recommend using the GCam port.

Hmm, it's strange that it crashes. Try uninstalling it and install this one instead. Don't forget to allow all the required permissions https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/Gcam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.7.190716.1800.apk

It should work without changing any of the settings.
However I recommend using these settings : https://mega.nz/#!xHRllIAI!7iKlwhrkHx_T0oxIVcj4HbuH7Z8xRsJ27XBuh9EsJPo these are the ones I use personally. To import them, create a folder named "GCam" on your device. In GCam folder create another one and name it "Configs". Copy the lgg8s.xml file to Configs. Then, open Google Camera application and quickly tap twice on the black area next to the shutter button. Now you can import the lgg8s.xml file.
Let me know if it worked.
