Guys , there seem to be some mis-undersatanding here , i had a chat a few pages back with cstark27 and artz and we came to conclusion that there was 2 versions of G6 , i got my G6 in july while

Artz got his in late november so we were suspecting that LG has changed something in the sensors that are manufactured after a certain date , due to this the old G6 model can use shamu config

Instead of the pixel 2 and this solves its puple tint problem completely , on the other hand there is no config that can solve the new G6 color cast problem as the shamu produces a magenta cast

On those new models , so cstark27 versions will work very well on the old G6 models (like mine) because it uses shamu in the case of G6 , while produces a mgenta cast on the new phones due to

sensor difference , while artz versions are the exact opposite they produces a very powerful mgenta cast (worse than the original pixel 2 config) on the old models but seem to reduce the cast noticeably

On the new ones (from users feedback as i don't own the new version) , truth to be told all the released cast correction versions (Artz included) can't correct this problem completely as they use

only one value for black level in all lighting conditions while the good solution requires 5 points curve (in 5 deffirent lighting situations) to get good result in all lighting conditions and 20 points

Curve to get a perfect solution and that is a tremendous work that's why no body did it until now besides the fact that only the G6 has this problem while most of the devices work fine with the Pixel 2

Configs (V30 and even G5)

Guys, do you have any idea what is the version that fits better in terms of quality vs. stability on our LG G6?!

I am using "cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.2_wide" obviously for the wide lens and "GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V6-Beta3" for portrait

and mainly because of the lens blur

[MENTION=6776417]jamorimpt[/MENTION] whats the difference between those 2?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamorimpt:
Don't know. But from the developer and translated from russian about the latest 3.0 version:

+ on / off shutter sound (the item is always active on any system).

+ adjustment of buffer size.

default = 3,

optimal = 15. Optimal picked the maximum possible, that would not be a circle "processing" on MI5S 3 \ 64.

+ mute increased exposure.

+ fixed the error crumbled application when exiting the settings.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
While theoretically possible (to a degree), this requires a software process called deconvolution.

Deconvolution is computationally intensive, expensive to develop and requires tight optics tolerances (which LG are not known for - hence the issue in the 1st place).

I can pretty much guarantee that the 2.09mm variants will remain less sharp than the 2.01mm variants forever.

I am however working on a Lightroom preset that sharpens and corrects distortion specifically in photos shot with the 2.09mm G6 lens.

Will share when it's ready.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
This wide angle debacle is really despicable behavior by LG. And as usual they are not taking responsibility.

Evidently they were hoping that people wouldn't notice or wouldn't care. And since there is no way to identify ahead of time (before purchasing) which device has the problem by serial or model number, people are stuck. Fortunately I have the 2.01 mm lens, but I don't like the feeling that I purchase something and have to be lucky. I am satisfied with my phone, I think LG did a good job with design and features, but I feel that purchasing another LG device in the future will be a gamble, a real toss of the dice. I haven't really read too much on other device forums, I wonder if people say the same thing about other makers such as Samsung.

Actually, you can check which lens the device has just by looking at it. Since LG usually doesn't seal their boxes, you can check it before buying. I took my first one back to the shop and explained to the manager what the issue was. He agreed to exchange it and brought a few from the warehouse for us to check. I ended up finding a 2.01 device and he exchanged it.the cameras are physically different. There was a post somewhere on Reddit with photos of both, side by side, as well as some example photos from both cameras. I used it to show the manager that there was indeed an issue. Even taking a photo in the store, the issue was apparent. The guy was quite accommodating. I also have a H870DS, bought from Korea, and I was just lucky for it to come with the 2.01 already.

Who has a focal lens 2.09 has better angles and less rounded effect in the photos. This is not really bad.

I've simply moved over the [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION]'s own thread, which is a GREAT change of pace from this whole mess.

I'm not able to get rid of that magenta cast, even with [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] fix... The only version that has ever managed to completely eradicate this magenta cast was version MGC_5.1.016_7.0_c2api_v3. 1_allinone

All subsequent versions, no matter who the author was, always had the cast, especially in HDR+ Enhanced. Not sure if it's possible to extract the color correction from this version and apply it to the newer ones. This would be the ultimate version for the G6...

I've recently noticed chromatic noise in a WELL LIT outdoor photo in the dark areas.

Using Cstark ver 3.6

Dark areas in the hair or a beard, look green.

It seems inconsistent, only in certain areas, in shadows.

Anybody? Is this just an issue of dynamic range? In other of my daylight photos I have no problem with black looking black without color noise.

Addendum: Looking back at some of my older photos, this appeared in the LG Cam photos as well. So I am guessing that this is a dynamic range issue, with noise reduction kicking in for some reason. I just never payed attention to this before when shooting in bright outdoor light, that dark hair would produce color noise! This does not happen with an SLR.

Is there any setting in GCam to prevent this?

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] J-Zzz:
Last week I've gone on a trip with some of my friends to Goa with GCam as my primary app. During the trip it had taken so many amazing photos, all my friends commented on the quality. Many times they were recommended over the DSLR one of my friends had. xD

But the app does have its problems. The places we went to during our stay were really hot and humid. On top of that on using the GCam, due to HDR+ processing and Portrait Mode calculations, the phone temp immediately jumps up to 42°C. Then I'm guessing due to performance throttling, the phone practically freezes up. It gets so slow and unresponsive that there's nothing else to do than restart the phone. Even then on continuing to take more photos, it immediately freezes up again. I missed a few photo opportunities due to this whole mess and some times where it shows to take a photo but it doesn't save it in the storage at all.

After that, I reduced the number of frames processing to Low from Medium, and so far none of the freezing problems has happened again. But still just be careful on bringing the G6 to a hot environment and using the GCam.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingFatty:
Which version of GCam are you running on your LG G6? I wonder if there is a version that will have fewer problems, but still have quality that's the same or better?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] J-Zzz:
The latest cstark versions. Tbh, I doubt any GCam version would not have the problem I had. Because HDR+ processing is a resource intensive task, which is why even Google has another image processor in the Pixel phones just for that reason.

But otherwise, if you make sure to not take 5-10 photos back to back especially when you're in direct sun and overwork the G6, it should be fine.
