Contrast

Contrast is defined as the separation between the darkest and brightest areas of the image. Increase contrast and you increase the separation between dark and bright, making shadows darker and highlights brighter. Decrease contrast and you bring the shadows up and the highlights down to make them closer to one another.

Adding contrast usually adds "pop" and makes an image look more vibrant

while

decreasing contrast can make an image look duller

.

Saturation

Saturation is similar to contrast, however instead of increasing the separation between shadows and highlights, we increase the separation between colors.

An increase in saturation results in an increase in contrast, brightness, and sharpness.

Again, a change in

saturation

normally has a more

noticeable effect on vibrant colors and less on dull colors

or colors that are almost neutral.

Sharpness

Sharpness can be defined as edge contrast, that is, the contrast along edges in a photo.

When we increase sharpness

,

we increase the contrast only along/near edges in the photo

while leaving smooth areas of the image alone.

Increasing sharpness can cause the appearance of increase saturation, contrast, and brightness

in areas of the image that contain fine detail where other areas (areas with broader detail) se0em less affected except for the added sharpness.

The Shutter Controls Light and Motion

“In photography and digital photography the shutter speed is the unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time.

The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor

. Shutter speeds are expressed in seconds or fractions of a second. For example 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000. Each speed increment halves the amount of light.”

The shutter keeps light out of the camera except during an exposure, when it opens to let light strike the image sensor. In respect to just exposure,

faster shutter speeds let less strike the image sensor so the image is darker

.

Slower speeds let in more so it's lighter.

In addition to controlling exposure, the shutter speed is the most important control you have over how motion is captured in a photograph.

The longer the shutter is open, the more a moving subject will be blurred in the picture

. Also, the longer it's open the more likely you are to cause blur by moving the camera slightly. Although you normally want to avoid blur in your images there are times when you may want to use it creatively.

Understanding bitrates in video files

It’s important to understand how the bitrate control corresponds to video quality and the file size. In general,

a higher bitrate

will accommodate

higher image quality

in the video output.

running xcamlg_612 vs9825

and i can't get burst mode to work... it only takes one photo!!!

is there any way we can get it to work by just holding down the shutter button?!?

also,

does it actually save in .RAW if i turn on normal Raw?

thanks

Hi

I tried to make the camera application run as a system app (/system/app) and (system/priv-app). Most of the functions i tried work but it FC's when i try to switch from the back camera to the front camera. Also the xcam settings app FC's as well (NOT as system app)

Can you make it compatible ?? I completely removed the default camera app and wanted to keep your modified one in my ROM

Thanks , xcam is a HUGE improvement over the stock one , love this phone already !!
[G2 Android Development] Shriac:
Where can I find version 6.1.2
[G2 Android Development] z3pp3lin:
I never used burst while on that ROM but it works on L. You need to hold the shutter button.

It used to save it as .raw file but has been updated to save as a .dng - only in normal mode.

Why were you moving the files around? To make it open with the volume button?

Hard to help if you don't mention what ROM you're on.

You need to purchase the XCam LG Settings app and then become a beta tester. Instructions to be a tester are in the OP.
[G2 Android Development] Myster:
I like to keep some apps in ROM. I am on a stock ROM with a lot of bloatware removed. Since stock camera works and google camera as well i do not think something is missing from ROM

So I am running xdabbeb's 39A stock rom on my G2 and so far so good. Did completely fresh clean install.

I downloaded and installed the xcam 6.0 with advanced drivers and so far, no FCs and all seems to be functioning perfectly. However I've read posts that say the advanced drivers don't work with lollipop yet.

So what's the difference between the xcam 6.0 with advanced drivers and the one without? What functionality, if any, am I missing out on using the version with advanced drivers running on lollipop?

Thanks.
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
I just realized on 39a there's still no slow motion playing in video app and xdabbebs video app is only for KitKat.

Vlc player is a good alternative as it allows to change speeds by decimals to get it how you like. For now that's what I'm using and just wanted to share in case others were looking for the same thing

Setup : stock 20H, dorimanx kernel, XCam 6.0 with advanced drivers and XCam settings. Problem : video recording [MENTION=1137901]fhd[/MENTION] (30fps) contains pink/purpleish horizontal lines. They're sporadic. Has anybody else encountered this issue so far ? If yes has a solution been found ? If not consider this a bug report [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]. Thanx
[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
some people say that "pale" images lacking true colors are due to that purple lens coating...

i still didn't try to remove it myself to see if that's the real culprit (i guess it could be), but you can find some posts about that "issue" in the g2 forums somewhere (q&a or general section)

the easiest thing to do is to add some contrast and saturation in some image editing app (snapseed, pixlr,...)
[G2 Android Development] Kasvinda:
I dont think its the coating. Because sometimes it catches superb images like no other. I dont have much if photography knowledge but i found that good pictures with correct colors have a higher exposer time like 1/250 while bad pictures have 1/30 exposure time.
[G2 Android Development] fantasmanegro:
it can be the camera.... the way it "feels" the light... the metering mode....
[G2 Android Development] abdel12345:
This is off topic but I thought people here would know about camera stuff. I was trying to get into using manual camera and learning how to use some more advanced settings rather than just basic pointing and shooting but when I tried the compatibility test it said my phone doesn't support any of the manual settings. Is this hardware related or just software that lg needs to add in. If it makes any difference I'm on cm12. If I switch back to stock would it be supported?

The things were like manual focus and other stuff like that. It said something like your device doesn't support the new camera 2api so does that mean we don't get the new lollipop camera improvements? I know xcam settings has some stuff like this so I was confused on why its not supported and I wanted to try it on aosp.

Thanks and sorry got off topic but I didn't want to make a question thread for just a quick question and people here will probably know more about this.
[G2 Android Development] Kasvinda:
Yes there a huge problem when it comes to light handling. Its all software i believe that needs improvement. Cz the hardware G2 has is impressive. I wonder why people are not interested in this topic :(

I see dead pixels

OK, now that I have freshly flashed the 20H stock ROM and I still see the problem I'm about to detail, I'm gonna ask you guys to have a look and confirm, if you see it too.

I can see "dead pixels" in the videos shot with the phone. They look like small groups of 3-4 white pixels, and I can easily see up to 6 such groups (check IMG1). They are visible in the viewfinder too and in the resulting videos they are quite visible over dark areas. You can even zoom them in (see IMG2), looking just like dead pixels on the camera sensor. But they only show up on certain combinations of resolution and fps count:

- Stock camera: 1920x1080@60

- Latest XCam LG: 1920x1080@60, 1280x720@60

- Cinema FV-5 Lite: 1280x720@30

Is it just my phone?

My setup is a stock 20H ROM with stock kernel, rooted but without any other tweaks, and XCam LG 6.1.2 adv with advanced driver, on a D802.

I have also attached a small archive that contains screenshots of the viewfinder and small video files made with XCam and FV-5. The camera lens was completely covered so that what you see are the white pixels, not dust or specks. Some images are not rotated properly because I tried to keep the editing at a minimum, to preserve the (already low) png quality.
[G2 Android Development] Hid3rs:
I have the same issue, sadly it's hardware related - there's not much you can do about it. I even got my camera sensor replaced, but it just got worse (meaning the new sensor is just as bad as the old one).

Fortunately it doesn't affect photos, so I stopped caring about it, I don't really record videos...

[G2 Android Development] 60nine:
xcam settings > photo options > enable "normal mode raw" option

bare in mind that raw photos aren't visible in any gallery app...

you can access them through any file manager and they're stored in "DCIM/Camera/dng" folder...

also - you can open/edit them only in apps that can open/edit dng/raw photos (such as photoshop express on android, photoshop or lightroom on pc, etc...)

[G2 Android Development] masteryx:
This only works if you need to keep the same focal point for the entire video. I think [MENTION=4945817]icedzed[/MENTION] needs to change focus while shooting, as I do. Unfortunately, at the moment we have to use other apps to achieve this. lgCamera is able to focus by tapping and is quite customizable.

If that doesn't work for anyone, I meant to ask earlier if those with this issue had tried clearing data/cache on the Gallery and Camera apps. It's not a bad idea to do that between updates if weird issues pop up.

I should have a new version later today that includes the graphics glitch fix.

Newest 1.3 alt looks GREAT on stock rooted vzw varient with multiple xposed modules loaded.

New anti-shake seems to work EXCELLENT! No jelly cam effect.. no way to add this to 60fps eh?

Also. Whats the deal with 120fps? The hardware supports it as it does on the note 3. 120fps@720 would be awesome to shove up LGs keister. Lol

OP updated with new (minor) version. Just a couple of fixes and a new Gallery app thrown in.

I did figure out (possibly) what was causing a few people to have media scanning issues. It seems LG included more hooks for that in the newest version (some of which seem useful), but if you continue to have problems that can't be solved by simply clearing data/cache on the Gallery and Camera apps, let me know here and I can disable it completely in a future version.
