For me these settings give slightly purple tint. Also autofocusing is terrible in v4. Try to make a selfie with back camera. The result will be blurred and the background will be in focus most of the time.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:
Any recomended setting ?:confused:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
I strongly recommend trying various combinations and find out the ones that work for you best.

I'm using the following:

Model: Nexus 6

Config Camera HDR+: Pixel 2017 ZSL HDR+

HDR+ parameters: Very High

Final JPEG quality HDR+: 97%

Sometimes I take photos with HDR+ set to Auto (less noise, but also worst dynamic range), especially in conditions that do not require have dynamic range processing.

In other scenarios I'm going with HDR+ On.

Do you still use the same setting on the lg g6? i see you are using model : nexus 6p, config camera HDR+: you say pixel but only setting i have is pixel experimental, pixel 2016 zsl hdr and pizel 2017 zsl hdr+, and parameters: High
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] vitoski:
I'm using right now the latest GCam version (the one from yesterday: 5.1 v1.5).

I changed Model from Nexus 6P to Nexus 6 (gives me the best results).

I use PIXEL 2017 Zsl Hdr+ as 'Config Camera HDR+' along with Very High option for 'HDR+ parameters'.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kventura:
Thanks gonna start using that...idk much about colors and other stuff.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cryptecks:
For what it's worth, when I'm on v4 I'm still using these settings: https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/google-camera-hdr-ported-g6-t3655374/post74019783, not the ones I pointed someone to in my last post, which I agree are a little bit on the blue/purple side for me.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:
thanks for sharing.

i have the following settings:

model : nexus 6

nexus 6 no zsl

super high

100 %

taking pictures of the night sky with city lights gives good color and sharpness, (some configs make the sky like raining purple spots and some other configs cast a shadow of the building in the sky, taking pictures of the moon in clear sky makes some clouds around the moon :rolleyes:)

everything is ok with mentioned configs but taking a selfie with back camera is good only when I enable timer, and thing with red color is shown kinda orange.

Autofocus

Anyone have a suggestion on what version/settings has the most responsive autofocus for the LG G6? I just purchased the G6 last week and have tried v3.8c, v4, and v5 and the autofocus is inconsistent at best in each of these versions across multiple configuration settings. I was hoping to use the Google Camera port to take better indoor pictures of people and pets, but I've found that the autofocus misses moving objects most of the time -- and by moving, i mean like naturally turning your face in conversation, not running around indoors. The autofocus is substantially worse than the standard LG camera app (although the results are pretty great if it actually hits focus).

Note that touch to focus generally "works" in that I can get it to focus back and forth between a close and far object in a static test scene, but in real-life usage with people, the autofocus takes a long time to lock in (whether touch-to-focus or purely automatic) and tends to shift the focus to the background for no apparent reason.

I'm hoping that someone has had better luck than me and can share their config!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
Alright here's a low light comparison of the G6 on auto and the Google Camera. The G6 has more light but more noise. The Google Camera is darker but less noise and a more accurate view.

First one is the G6

Second one is Google camera

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Same order.

G6

Google Camera

G6 is the clear winner in this pair.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] banesi:
I have just done some more extensive test between Stock Auto, Stock Manual and Google Camera. Seems Manual mode is using less NR even when enabled and produce better quality pics than Google Camera. So I would recommend:

switch to Manual mode

Disable AE-L

Enable Noise Reduction

Never go back to Auto settings.

This is for everyday, general usage, when more time is available, obviously full manual mode.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
Post pics for comparison please.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
What exactly is AE-L? How do you enable noise reduction?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] The-Last-Hylian:
I need to check ut the NR on the LG app, I have a fear of NR in photos as it can wash out detail.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamorimpt:
AE-L is Auto-Exposure/ISO Lock. If you disable it (on right bottom in manual mode) you will be using auto exposure/iso (camera will adapt settings to current scene conditions, almost the same as auto mode)

Noise reduction is enabled in AUTO mode (can't be disabled) but can be enabled or disabled in manual mode by changing mode to Manual Camera, then settings, and then scroll down to option Noise Reduction. (This is only available from V10T and newer roms)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamorimpt:
In manual mode even if you have NR ON, and if ISO is not too high, quality is good. You will start to notice bad detail from ISO 800 and higher, but depends on scene type.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
I used manual exposure right after I got this phone when we went on vacation and I took a ton of indoor videos in dimly lit museums. There was a lot of focused lighting and I remember auto exposure was horrible.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamorimpt:
I have no problems using manual mode. But you talking about video and I'm talking about photo. If you want to shoot in manual (photo or video) you need to know how to use it :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkimmortal:
"switch to Manual mode

Disable AE-L

Enable Noise Reduction"

Auto Mode is Noise Reduction + Auto Exposure , how are these settings different from Auto Mode?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamorimpt:
It seems that LG Camera has different compression and noise reduction algoritms for each mode. By experience, manual mode preserves more detail than pure auto mode. Anyway, in manual mode, if you know how to use it, you can make decisions that helps a lot. For example: you can lock ISO to a low iso and get less noise because some times LG Camera adapts ISO to a higher ISO (introducing more noise) just to get a higer shutter speed (and some times that's not necessary).

When i take lens blur option in my LG G6, the photo is so dark... Is there a good setting i can use in g6???
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ASiX74:
I use the BSG V5 app and image quality is just outstanding. It's great in Daylight because the pictures don't suffer from the excessive sharpening of the LG app, have great dynamic and details. But at night, it simply is a whole other level : The amount of detail is really impressive.

However, AF is terrible. It is really difficult to have it lock on a person and it does not work in video. Besides, the colors may be a bit weird in some situations but it can be corrected easily. I use Nexus 6P/Nexus 2016/Medium on a H870DS.

I would be nice to have a custom version of the app for the G6 ...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohsen_alinezhad:
I asked this earlier but no response yet.

Does anyone know what are the options in developer settings for ??

Like what is canera.op.nes

Or camera.p3

Or camera.enable_pd

....
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] clarence35:
Thanks for the suggestion! I tried Nexus 2016 Tuning, along with Pixel 2017 (fablet) and Very High HDR+ parameters. I also use HDR+ On (not extended). I used these settings to shoot kid photos over the weekend and was pretty happy with the results. This seems to give me the most natural-looking colors and slightly better autofocus than other settings I've tried (for v5 and v4). I'll be using this setting for awhile and will report back with any further findings.

That being said, I do still notice a few issues like missed focus (i.e., focus is on background); weird colored skin tones (yellowish-orange, mostly happens in photos with extreme dynamic range where the stock LG camera was equally bad); extremely high contrast crushing the blacks and shadows in hair and other details (really don't know why this happens, it also happens with some of the other settings I've tried). But I'm happy with this for now. I probably alternate 50-50 between the LG camera app and Google Camera as I don't think the Google Camera is 100% good enough for motion or spontaneous shots, but it is amazing with stills or when I otherwise have time to frame a shot. Please let me know if there are any further settings that you prefer, and thanks again!

Are you sure? I was reviewing the Open Camera's code and it simply uses the Camera2 API to switch between the different camera devices. This implies that the Open Camera code can use standard APIs to access all 3 devices. Granted, it's not a seamless transition when zooming between the wide and narrow lenses, that's a tradeoff I'd be willing to have. I'd love to have the Google Camera work with the wide-angle lense on the LG G6...

The difference between version 4 and 5 is that they come from different Android version: v4 was from Nougat and v5 from Oreo.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] remondz:
I believe OmniVision module is only for OmniVision sensors to help reduce red/pink tint in photos (the G6 uses IMX258, not OV).

All Pixel models will give you blue/purple tint if you use HDR+ enhanced, so it's best to use Nexus 6P (more detail, more noise) or Nexus 6 (pretty much same detail and way less noise).

I'm currently using N6/PIXEL 2017 Zsl Hdr+/Very High.

But keep in mind that on the last three configs (Pixel Exp, Pixel 2016, Pixel 2017) auto focus won't work after using touch focus.
