Important notice

Google Camera 5.1.018 for the LG G6 based on cstark27 version 3.1 final release.

NOTE: Final releases for cstark version with true colors for the LG G6 (and probably other devices using Sony IMX258 image sensor)

'We are our own best advocates', as the saying goes.

Guys,

Looking at the pictures that [MENTION=7540749]Gagi77[/MENTION] has posted, I realized something was wrong. After some investigation, I've just realized I made a mistake on Google Drive version management and the versions you have downloaded are, in fact, the pre-releases, not the final versions. Two calibration settings are missing in these pre-releases. I've just corrected the error on Google Drive. Please download the files again. Thank you.

Download links are the same:

Normal camera release: Google Camera

Wide-angle Camera release: Wide-angle Camera

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] I will try them:D. Are the file names the same?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Yes, it was a wrong setting on my Google Drive that was serving a wrong version. Google Camera uses a double split complement (also called tetradic) uses two pairs of complements, one apart on the color wheel. First, I've set one pair (the version you have downloaded) but the second pair is set by default. Once you have found the good settings for the first pair (Red/Green value and Blue/Yellow value), you only have to apply the values for the complement (Green/Red value for each value of the first pair) which is pretty simple.

This is why the pictures you have posted have a little magenta tint: The complementary pair is missing.

I think I'm getting old :)

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] :) Now I will try, I will tell the results soon.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
I think [MENTION=3267278]Mefiboshet[/MENTION] is snobbing me :(

I was waiting for your remarks and comments. You have now a very good Google Camera version for the G6. Even Wide-angle Camera works much better even in very low-light.

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION], I just tried the correct version on my essential phone, which uses the exact same sensor as the g6 but see no difference with color plus on vs off. Also I noticed the autofocus is slow, someone figured out it was pixel configuration used, if you use 6P it's much better but creates noise at low light. Can you check into this?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samdimparis:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION]

You've done a remarkable job in constructing a perfect color profile for G6 and I am very grateful to you for that.

I just wanted to point out an issue in your release version - the photos are not sharp. The autofocus seems to lock (tried automatic lock as well as tapping the screen), but the resulted photos are just not crisp. Tried to uninstall the camera, wipe data then install it again - same result. Your previous version (v3.1_SAT...) is OK, it's clearly crispier. The "sharpest" version is a BSG one 5.1.018 v2e with Shamu/Pixel 2016 settings (your SAT is Shamu too, isn't it?). But it's a bit noisy

I wiped out unsharp pictures but can reproduce them again in proof if you need it.

Regards
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
There's absolutely no difference between v3.1_SAT and the new one, only the color settings. So it's your imagination. For BSG, I think it's also the same. Finally, I do disagree about being noisy. Noise is remarkably very well controlled. I doubt you'll find another version performing better.

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
"HDR + Auto" SAT vs XX, "HDR + Enchanced" SAT vs XX.What do you think the SAT version looks better? I will try wide angle tomorrow.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Sorry, but this is intended for the LG G6. I cannot guarantee it works on other phones.

Regards,

In English, please. This test is not good because all colors are in the same tonality. You must take pictures of scenes with different colors (reds, greens, blues, violets, yellows...) to see the differences.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION], i downloaded the normal version not the wide, so it's the exact same sensor as the g6. Did you not have any issue with focus? test it on a slight moving object and post picture please.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samdimparis:
Sorry Sir, but it's not just "my imagination". The release version does blurry photos in certain situations, it's a fact. See the attached image (100% crop) I took right now. Left is your release version, right is BSG v2e. Your previous version (3.1) looks more like the right one.

[IMG="100% compare.

As for noise, you took me wrong - I said BSG's one was a noisier version than yours.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
As is a low-light shot (speed 1/24"), you probably moved the G6 while you were taken the picture. Really, there's no difference between the versions. I get ultra sharp pictures of my books in really low-light 5/6 m away.

Regards,
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagi77:
It may be true, I saw in the tests that I made, "SAT" I took sharper pictures. But I thought I might have taken the picture without focusing.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
Not at all man! :)

Really appreciate your work and looking forward to trying your latest version.

Just been a crazy few days...

Will test and report back as soon as I get a chance.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samdimparis:
So how comes that my hands ALWAYS shake when I took pictures with your release version and NEVER - with other versions? I took many pictures of this kind and all of them have the same blur.

You choose a wrong attitude. I am pointing out an issue - to help you making your product better - and instead of acknowledging a problem you accuse the tester. OK, keep thinking there is no issue, it won't make the issue disappear and other people will see it as well.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
There's no issue because both ARE exactly the same. The only difference is 4 integers to change sensor color values. Stop.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
Hi ArtZ,

I have some good news, some bad news, and then some more good news.. ;)

Good news: When everything's working it looks great!

Bad news: There is still some inconsistency that causes some shots (usually the 1st though not always) to exhibit a pronounced tint (AKA 'amp glow') in low light and high dynamic range conditions. *

More good news: I've been working with [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] to isolate and resolve this inconsistency issue, so hopefully, we'll have it sorted sooner or later.

The solution will likely include either a modified analogue vs digital amplification ratio, better controlled shutter speed, or a combination of both.

* The 2 attached images were shots in identical conditions just a couple of seconds from each other.

These should demonstrate the inconsistency I'm talking about.

Hi, it will be help if you can turn on the face recognition, which will be very useful taking portrait
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrunoSlivar:
Sorry for off topic. Do you look/try or you know someone, how to get brighter aod? Aod is useless outside

Tnx and sorry again
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samdimparis:
I think he meant turning the developer's option "show facebox" on in portrait mode - this way one can be sure the camera detects a face and thus will (or won't) enable background blur.

[MENTION=3267278]Mefiboshet[/MENTION] [MENTION=4487956]S4turno[/MENTION]

Guys,

In the released version, I made a change in [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] configuration to force Google Camera to use 'Taimen' configuration instead of 'Shamu' (just two "0" to replace by two "1"). Well, manual color settings override the camera configuration settings. I get exactly the same results for color on this 'Taimen' configuration as with 'Shamu' configuration. In my post above, I wasn't sure but I now can confirm manual color values override the embedded values on camera configuration. So, you can use the values above with all configurations.

If you want to try by yourselves, you can download this version that uses 'Taimen' instead of 'Shamu' here: LG G6 using Taimen configuration with ColorPlus

Regards

ADDED: I was wrong! I've just made a couple of tests in low-light with HDR+ enhanced and there's magenta cast.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] I'll definitely test the version in the evening. Just to confirm, does the manual color overriding have impact on HDR+ Enhanced?

I'm kind of wondering if using HDR+ Enhanced in Taimen with your color settings will give purple tint as it used to do on all Pixel Models.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mefiboshet:
It will.

Pixel = Purple

Nexus 6 and 6P are less likely to suffer from amp glow (the cause of purple tint) on the IMX258, but are still prone to it on occasion.

A permanent fix is being researched, hang in there.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Thanks a lot of confirmation.

Waiting patiently then.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] works perfect on the PH-1, Just tested all modes. No purple tint. We have the same imx258 sensor
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
Hi,

'Shamu' version (original release) or 'Taimen' version?

Regards,

ADDED: In fact it's a silly question because PH-1 is configured by default as Taimen in all versions.

It's really interesting that with same sensor LG G6 and Essential PH-1 behave different.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
Taimen sir, the Shamu worked fine as well. Thanks for the good looks

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] Wow "Taimen" version gives much better colors in low light. But there is an imbalance. He can not always pull in the right colors (sometimes he paints purple on the same square(I said imbalance especially for "Enhanced")).Nice development, thanks:)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
It's intentional...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArtZ:
May I know why?

Thanks!

I'm testing the G6 with Shamu and, in low-light, pictures seem to be better than the ones with Angler: With Shamu, AWB and exposure work better and not more hot pixels with Shamu (in my case). I'll see tomorrow what happens in normal light conditions.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ObiDanKenobi:
Am I the only one that has issues with the focus, meaning the camera focuses on the wrong thing ?

Example: I want to take picture of a scene with a person and some baground, tap on the screen where the person is, but in 40-60% of the cases the focus in the background where there is more contrast.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sergykm:
no way yet, maybe in the future...

Ok, another new version with WORKING CONFIGS.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Y4Wh0lWPBGNlFma1FZcFp5UXM

You can change different configs in the settings. You don't need restart your camera, it's working at once.

Before install clear data and cache and remove previous version. If you have FC after change config just clear data and cache of app..

So, maybe anybody can test and compare different configs?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MuttleyMB:
Uninstalled because it continues in FC (G6 brand Vodafone with firmware v10t-EUR-XX).

Cache clearing and app reinstalling doesn't solve. :(

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
Thanks for re-uploading.

Version 2.2 works on my phone. It still FCs if you open Camera profile settings but don't select any profile. However once you choose a profile it works fine.

Feedback regarding other features:

# Panorama - sometimes pictures get green overlay (not sure why). It looks just like you put green filter on the picture.

# Lens blur - works quite nicely. Sometimes there is a problem in selecting right area for focus.

# Panorama - the quality is terrible comparing to LG stock camera. Already taken a couple of 360 panoramas with stock LG Camera and they look awesome. With Google Camera they look very poor, like if they were taken with 5 mpix front camera and bad lighting.

# Slow motion - works good, had no problems with it.

I haven't tested camera profiles very deeply, but I can't see the difference between Nexus 6P and Pixel profile.

Does anyone know what they suppose to change/real and if this really works?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cstark27:
I don't feel like re-reading multiple pages to double check, but this is the info that I have as of now as to the best "set and forget" models, based off user reports of red/blue dots with certain models:

G5 = Taimen

G6 = N6 normal, N6P wide

V20 = Taimen

V30 = Taimen

The Shamu model seemed to cause red/blue dots on almost all phones, like when shooting pictures of the night sky.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Just wanted to thank all of you folks who are tweaking and testing the Gcam. It has really allowed us all to get value out of our G6 phones. I really enjoy taking photos now, a majority come out great including in low light. With the LG software as you know its hit or miss even in good light, and I was even embarrassed to send out some of the photos I took. No longer true with Gcam ! Many of the photos rival those coming from my daughter's Pixel 2!

Keep of the good work :)

Maybe LG will be smart enough to incorporate some of the tweaks in their own software.

[MENTION=235507]ArtZ[/MENTION] Hello friends, Shamu vs Taimen (Taimen on the top and Taimen on the left). Taimen shows the sky much more accurately, a little brighter (much brighter in the shadows). Shamu paints the sky and the clouds to the extreme blue (even white clouds). I like Taimien more in the low light test I did last night. I am curious about your thoughts. Here are a few better photos of "Taimen" ...

Great work ArtZ.

I just learned about your release! Certainly the best for my LG G5!

The normal version has worked great for my LG G5, but the wide angle version has never worked(I tried all of your previous wide angel versions) for me. Any ideas on making the wide angle version working on my lg g5?

On the LG G5 the wide angle version will open up, I can see preview, but the the screen will dim and lock up once I accept to an HDR+ image. I can turn HDR+ off on the app, and it will capture a normal image successfully. Let me know if there is any that I can send you to help diagnosing the issue.

Thanks for your hard work again!

Why is there no longer a switch to change the "portrait mode" to "blur lens effect"?
