That's pretty awesome, really. I find myself doing that sometimes with my G2: just snapping a shot of something interesting because it catches my eye, or the colors in use are contrasting to such a degree that you just can't miss it.

Very cool shot... here's one from downtown Las Vegas since I live here. Taken with Mi2Raw, basic "Auto" processing into Photoshop, then Neat Image basic default remove noise + sharpen, reduced to 50% original size:

does anyone knon why my images seem to get a white cloud or a foggy look to them. i clean the lens but my images in a room wheres theres a light source always seem to have a washed out fog to them because of the light but my nokia lumia 920 takes crystal clean shots.
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
Try to take off the violet film from lens.... Maybe the fix some

[G2 General] musvi:
because of the scratches accumulated over time in your lens violet coating/film, try to rub and remove the damn coating u'll get crystal clear picture (i've already removed mine... :))

what did you use ? im trying to use toothpaste but i dont think its doing anything. ive been rubbing the lens for like 15 minutes
[G2 General] IOmega666:
I used toothpaste and damn, the camera was pure scratches, I was starting to lose my mind then I looked up in my house for some polish powder, that thing for cleaning, and in a couple of minutes i started to see that the scratches were gone, huge huge reliefe and well, here it's 8.55PM, it's dark, not gonna try today but you gotta keep brushing.

The answer is, yes, aosp roms on g2 sucks, you'll lost everything you pay for. Audio quality, image quality... But, you should try them to know

I am using Cloudy G2 ROM 2.2.

Is any mod or modded driver needed here?

Or those advanced drivers are included in this Rom?

I mean, am I missing something to take premium quality pictures?

Thanks in advance ;)
[G2 General] 60nine:
advanced driver is includded in the cloudy2.2 rom (as stated many times already)

you can just instal xdabbeb's Xcam app to benefit extra features (4k video, slow-motion video and few more) + Xcam settings (to gain control even more - but it's not free - you can find it at playstore)
[G2 General] minhaz.sourav:
4k Video, Slow motion these are included already.

But anyway is it possible to control exposure time in LG G2? I mean Manual exposure time?

I've seen it xiaomi mi3.

Is it possible?
[G2 General] 60nine:
only with xcam settings - but not that much (for my taste)... see screnshots on playstore

I only use it to take a picture to show a friend, hey i'm eating here or this, i bought some new sneakers, check 'em out, some silly stuff on instagram, so I got a couple of "real" photos, taken some with XCam, they are edited but quality is as the original and one picture that i took 2 o 3 months after i bought the phone.

This is the one from last year.

On snapseed, someone like me, not an expert, how can set the app?
[G2 General] 60nine:
you don't set the app for editing photos... photo editing depends of the each photo itself...

you cant set i.e. photoshop to use same settings for every photo because every photo is different...

in snapseed - best tweaks parameters are the usual ones (contrast, saturation, brightness) and the "ambiance" is very good one as well...

experiment a bit... every photo i edit is tweaked different
[G2 General] iko11:
I am not an expert either, editing them for pleasure of my sight, HDR effect is a good solution for the pictures of sky, try the one suits more for your pleasure :)

60 fps video recording

Hello all, very nice pictures with our LG G2.

However I use the G2 most for video recording - indoors, slightly low light, and 60 FPS is a must for me (HD or FHD) because I am recording sport events, training ...

Can you comment which combination is best for you for video recording in this conditions.

- KK rom with xcam (by xdabbeb) and advanced drivers

- LP rom with stock camera or xcam or even G3 ported camera (no advanced drivers in LP jet)

- there is a GPRO V2 ROM port with different drivers that is better than G2 LP stock drivers (I read this in G3 camera port thread)

For me KK rom and advanced drivers are still much better than LP stock drivers. Anyone on GPRO V2 ROM can test camera and report ?

Thank you for comments in advance

Running Cloudy G2 ROM with Dorminax kernel.

Is a lollipop rom for the G2, maybe you know it with the other name that is Grola Rom, is the same thing. The last version is the v3 and it is very good.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/lollipop-grola-rom-5-0-1-t3028569
[G2 General] f_4Strings:
Talking about audio, I could solve by installing the dorimanx kernel on stock lp. It let me adjust the mic input gain so that I can record audio on loud concert simply by adjusting the gain to the right level.

Moreover by using the xdabbeb camera or other apps (i.e. snap camera) you can also select the audio input source: voice mic or camera mic! :)
[G2 General] 60nine:
how low do you adjust the mic volume in dorimanx stweaks for recording at a concert?
[G2 General] f_4Strings:
It may vary (loudness, distance, bass sound, music genre..) ...till now on average between 0 and -20. (I prefer to record by the voice mic rather then the camera one)

I've read about the Irig Mic: a good quality external mic; it allows to set the mic sensitivity (low and high gain) by a built-in switch.

I couldnt yet try it, but it has to give many recording solutions combined with the software gain level adjustment

i'm enjoying this phone like everyone else. i just have a concern about the OIS. coming from a nokia lumia 920, i'm used to the way nokia does their OIS. i know the lg g2 has hardware ois also but i cant help but notice it is not as good as nokia's. i've tested it again and again with my lumia 920 and my g2 doing the exact same thing each time with both phones with all on auto settings and each time my lumia 920 had a better blur free picture vs. the g2. it gets even worse when you use the camera inside a building where you dont have as much lighting as you do outside. the blurring on the g2 is much worse. it's obviously not taking in as much light on auto setting as the lumia 920 does. that's been the only major down side i've had with this phone. i had another down side with the screen coming on when a text message came while in my pocket that would cause my leg to hit buttons and open apps while in my pocket but a mod has fixed that for me.
[G2 General] woof123:
Does the Ois even work guys?I didnt notice it at all when im trying to take a picture in low light,if i move the phone even abit,it will come out blurry.Same as it was with my S3...i didnt saw any difference at all.I just hope they can fix that,with a camera update later or something.Can they,or its just the way it is.

May I also ask do you ever accidentally hit home button whilst using keyboard and camera app ? Look close to space bar and shutter key and do the capacitive buttons go away when watching videos (I assume so)

[G2 General] dagrim1:
Wow, this all looks pretty awesome! I currently own a HTC One and am not completely happy... Phone is very nice, but camera is disappointing and this looks like a proper contender.

Low light performance seems quite decent as well (red in some reviews that low light pics weren't as good as expected). Also read that there are some issues with focus/white balance stuff, is that indeed the case?

Also, how is video sound recording (at a concert for example). Many phones suffer from distortion often, how is the LG doing?
[G2 General] lattiboy:
I am an overall camera nut on the side (own 3 cameras and buy/sell high end stuff on the regular) and I find this camera is incredibly frustrating!

The AF plain sucks. It's inconsistent, it's often incorrect, and takes forever to lock focus. Really annoying, it needs to get a fix.

Image quality is mostly excellent outdoors. Nice and sharp with good detail and nice color.

Indoors is basically a coin toss. Either you'll be super impressed with the detail and color, or you'll get a crappy, sketch-like picture that's mushy and way too warm. With OIS and f/2.4 this should do a LOT better in these conditions. ISO performance is actually really good up to about 1000-1600. Sure, there is some noise, but considering how small the sensor is it does admirably. The problem is the auto-exposure is

GARBAGE

. I mean, just

utter garbage

. I took a picture in a well lit parking lot and the auto ISO went to 4500! The picture came out like a Monet painting. This would be less of an issue if you could control the shutter speed, but all you have is ISO, so you are depending on the AE, which, if you didn't hear earlier, is GARBAGE.

This really sucks, as I think the phone is aces in every other respect. The reviews for this camera (the positive ones at least) appear to be from an alternate universe.
[G2 General] dagrim1:
[MENTION=2477316]lattiboy[/MENTION]: Hmmm, and that;s exactly what I read/heard elsewhere... Hope LG will get at it and fix this stuff.

Nah, it's just the camera kinda sucks (low light that is... even though it's just 4MP, it's enopugh for what I use it for). Build quality is awesome, sound is nice, no battery issues here, etc. But yeah, it's just not it with the camera's current state.

[G2 General] mainstang:
If I could ask for some pictures of a moving subject that would seal the deal for me. I played with the ATT g2 in a store tonight and vs the one and the s4 the OIS is definitely noticeable as well as the low light advantage. I could not get a real life feel for a moving subject other than waving my hand past the camera and all of them did about the same except for when I was doing it with the G2 it seemed to not want to take the photo unless it focused so it made for a weird delay. Don't get me wrong all of the cameras had a little more delay but the G2 acres like it wasn't gonna snap until it focused some.
