Hello this can be fixed because i payed that phone 370€.........

Root your phone and flash the XCam advanced drivers. Using just the XCam apk itself won't cure your problem.

By night , the camera is slow and you show the 'pixels" on screen, but when you take photo with flash, the photos are good!

What do you mean "gotten past" the issue? My understanding is there is no current solution

Same question, do you have any more samples to share in full resolution? Thanks!
Some samples
Hello all.
I've had the device for around 2 weeks now, so I can't say I have mastered it.
My experience says that It is definitely not as easy as an iPhone that you just point and shoot and 9 out of 10 you will get a good photo.
This phone/sensor has great capabilities BUT you need to work on the settings.
Here are some samples from these 2 weeks I have been using it.
:cyclops:
SAMPLES HERE
More will be added in time.
Did you use the default camera app, or maybe some alternatives? I like ProCapture, but the focus speed and overall snappiness is better with stock camera app.
Nice pictures thou, the manual mode selection and exposure compenstaion is really visible.

Yes, I don't need root as one doesn't need battery improving tweaks on this phone.

What you see is a not focused picture stitched into the pano. Third party cameras like google camera sometimes doesn't focus correctly, they don't wait long enough for the focus on this phone.

XCam by xdabbeb (originally for G3 works for the Stylo)

Hi everyone.
Thanks to an user from Android forums find out that this particular app works nicely with our LG Stylo , i have notice pictures are better than the Native cam app installed on this device.
You can download the LOLLIPOP ..APK from this Thread and thank you @xdabbeb for this amazing camera software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604
You guys can give it a shot and tell us here what you thing about it if is Better than the native lg cam app or non at all.
some LOW-light and Night Picture test using XCam
Thanks you for posting this. I love the phone, but I really hate the camera. This app makes the pictures come out so much more clear.
Edit:
I just noticed the front camera only goes to 2m. I thought It was supposed to be a 5m camera?
have you tried to see if the phone can record on the 1080p 60 fps option

LoL sorry ihad the front camera instead and 1080p 60fps which is slow-motion isn't available LoL, yeah i just did a recorded test using 1080p 60fps (Slow-Motion) and records pretty well, i really don't recommend record video using 60fps unless you are playing to playback at slower rate (24fps or 30fps) for a slow motion effect.

The front camera is not going to be much use in low light, I would try to use the camera on back of phone and using the low light settings within the camera settings.

Also buy Donation App and turn off Auto night + night mode from settings, you will see performance difference on low light.Use normal mode and be sure you are taking photos with same settings on eaach phone (ISO, WB etc.)
Maybe your problem is scratched camera lens.
After I had noticed the bad camera quality and had changed the camera lens protector the camera had started to work normally.
+ If you use lower Android version, you can get Mi2Raw working, with allows you to do advanced photo editing using Photoshop.
i bet that you have scratches on your lens, good luck with that

to be precise - i edit every photo worth sharing in snapseed...
btw g2 has a decent camera (at least on stock based roms) for a 2 year old device - on aosp it sucks because of lacking proper camera api's...
here is a small gallery of my LG G2 pictures edited in snapseed

I am not talking about normal photos. If you want quick edit use Snapseed . If you are playing with RAW files use Photoshop or Lightroom. Thats all. Instead of nervousness you could upload your camera samples, and it would be more clearlier what is wrong.
And yeah, don't buy it. Buy ant iPhone, because as I see, you have visited Xda without knowing, that this is developers page, and people try to get MAX OUT of they devices.
As I sayd, just try Xcam + Xcam setting. +Install advanced drivers, the camera will be as new.

It is sad you are crying but you just don't know how your phone works...
When you go up to 10x it changes sensor and uses 108mpx for telephoto
Of course this is not made to focus on stuff 1 meter from the camera
Try using it in real conditions...

He is wrong.108mp camera is just for up to x4 zoom.All above that is telephoto.Don't spread wrong informations.Yea sure sansung will put PERISCOPE camera of 48mp and than use main camera for over x10 focus what a genius ? The deal is that up to(from x1 to x5 is pure otpical zoom)10x is hybrid zoom it uses both periscope and main camera for above x10 times its only periscope without main camera.Al above 10 zoom is only periscope camera and its just croping not zoom.But keep in mind if you zoom x3 it will be only main camera croping you cant zoom less than 5x times wtih periscope.
Seems OK here on unlocked USA version.
Will be testing some more to see.
I didn't even reset settings/clear cache.
I'm glad I didn't get Exynos. Usually do for unlockable BL and custom roms but I'm over that now.
I still have older Exynos phones I can do that with.
And my personal numbers are on Verizon so there's that.
The new update made this camera worse! If they don't have this camera figured out soon, I'm getting rid of my Ultra.
For 4x - 9.9x, if you're focusing a relatively close object, it will use the main camera, but if you focus something far away, it will use the telephoto camera. At least, that's the behaviour I'm having (ATCT firmware / camera version 10.0.03.2).

Return it. Or import the snapdragon model. I haven't had those issues. Camera is almost perfect apart from some poor HDR processing at times.
Text has always been an issue with this phone.
It has a very narrow range of focus.
