It's not news to anyone who owns a G2 that the stock camera has a few issues in low light scenes.
Specifically:
Video recording goes lower than 30 fps (and of course 60 fps)Still pictures are slow to take
The question: is this an actually issue that has been officially acknowledged by LG? G2 is still new on the market so I'm pretty surprised that not a single announcement has been made regarding those issues.
P.S.
I am aware that unofficial fixes are in the making

I share the same question as you. The device needs a very very steady hand to get the iphone crushing pictures I'm looking for. It gets there with a lot of effort. moving objects ALWAYS exhibit motion blur and video capture at night, although much brighter than other cameras, is very mushy soft and very choppy. Looks embarrassing next to family i5 and note2.
Is LG aware? Have they acknowledged? How can I bring it to their attention? Is there a link or address?
Call lg and tell them... That's what I did about the camera lens scratching. I would try a new camera app and see if it helps... I use the Super Camera here on xda and it seems to work great
Playing with slo-mo effects,
sorry for terrible lighting

Cool, always love watching these, EVEN. From the Mrs's iphone 5s (which does a superb job).
Now if you want to do it again and need a mouth to catch those in.....give me a shout.

Nice i love watching stuff in slow mo...... hopefully they'll advance on this in future models, i wouldnt mind in a couple of years when i upgrade next, being able to shoot proper 300 fps slow mo from my phone, even something simple like a balloon popping looks awesome slowed down that much
wow you can record slow motion videos at 1440p quality thats awesome man.
my note 2 cannot record more than 480p
Wow, this really sucks. It's one of my favorite features. There are several videos where the slow motion is really choppy and skips a lot, see here:

https://youtu.be/XdmVAfQWr38
And then we have a perfectly smooth and what looks like higher res slow motion video from a user here who owns the exynos version:

What in the world is going on?
I really hope this is not staying this way. It is annoying. Saturday i will get my Exynos, i will test and let you know the results.

Its a bug, im sure it'll be fixed, the world is not ending.
I just tested and had the same. Also on Snapdragon.
Also have bad compression artifacts all over my videos in FHD60 and UHD
It just got released.....relax it will be fixed soon

Samsung and soon? Does these two match together?
Is this problem already reported to Samsung. Did Samsung already give a reaction on this bug?

Here's my test video of slow motion with my T-mobile S7

Coin Spin @ 1/8th Speed - https://youtu.be/J_pgp0BJ8HU
Here a link to the original file: https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hi...A4Xh/S7 Slow-motion Coin Spin 1-8th Speed.mp4
Here is another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG_tjI27BsQ
This is from my T-Mobile S7 (Snapdragon). I've noticed AF tracking is not working properly if not at all when capturing Slo-Mo. A quick tap of the object on your screen will re-focus.
Side note: YouTube really destroys the quality of the videos at 720p.
So i just got the s7E and am doing plenty of expirementing with it...
Now im coming from the LGG3 and OP2 and one feature about the G3 camera i loved was the foward facing slow motion ability (lets me capture great vaping shots)
Now i know the S7E has a pretty bad ass ability of capturing and editing slow mo for the main camera.... but for anyone who wants slow mo with the "selfie cam" natively, are they out of luck?
Im not seeing any available download options for it either... helpz
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Good stabilisation and auto focus, not much more to say
4k video awful. Stutters and judders whenever you move. FHD+ not much better. Quality is also not sharp. A massive let down here.
Video quality not good terrible jittering ,i expecting more from this expensive phone
price asked has nothing to do with quality there are 200$ phones with crisp 4k video on the market

I got exact same feelings. The video quality is a bad joke...
Keeping my fingers crossed for a software update soon!
I spend a good hour at huawei booth and just couldn't get an explanation why there were jitters and dropped frames at 60 fps especially when panning. Also, 4k had few dropped frames and jitters but there was some sort of warping/bending at the sides of the screen. Again , no explanation.
So wanted to get this phone and am hoping someone has some answers why (perhaps it's ok when exported to pc?) or maybe some setting i'm not aware of?
Same here. Video quality suck and it always want to brighten the video when shot in a sligthly dark room. Hopefully there will be a fix but meanwhile snapchat app actually records better video than the default huawei app... Thats kind of embarrassing for huawei. It seems to be a sofwareissue.
Do anyone know any good external camera app to use?
Any one have the same problem like me.
No sound when making a video. When I restart the phone than sound comes back , but after a few more videos no more. I have now library of movies with no sound.

I'm using Cinema FV5, it's having a lot of manual settings, so I was able to shoot a video which looks quite more natural in low light.

I am not happy with video recording, pro mode options are limited and there's no dynamic control option i.e., you can't change settings while recording video other than zoom and focus. lot of pixel dropping in 4K, stabilization is good though, 146 has tweaked it well. another thing i noticed is long exposure shots with ISO 50 are giving lots of white dots or burnt pixels which are spoiling the photo shots. this means camera photo-detectors are not well ventilated for heat dissipation. also some of the features that Huawei boasted about such as cinematic mode are useless, low light videos are horrible...
only photo quality is good.
Slow mo
Hey guys, second post around... I've been testing super slow mo (960 fps) but the quality is a bit rubbish, the lense is the same as far as i know, and at 120 fps it takes good video, despite blurring everything at 0.6x... Do you have the same problem? Is there something I'm missing about slow motion video? Thanks!
Slow Motion is far better in Note 9. Big disappoint on Video recording on M20 Pro
Photos are great, Videos recorded are worse than $200 phone

I feel the same.
But both on Note 9 and Mate 20 Pro, the lack of manual focus on slow motion is sad. I lose lots and lots of opportunity for nice slowmo videos because they are out of focus (e.g., looking out the winodow of a moving train when entering the station). Simply being able to lock the focus would make it awesome.
4K video works fine for me
As long as you move smoothly the video is very nice as long as you are outside in good light. But first remember to use "performance mode". This is very important! Of corse the stabilization is not as good as in full HD;
4k30fps is not the way to go for smooth footage with any movement involved, let's hope the market still cares about Huawei in 2k20 until kirin 990 comes along

If you shoot video a lot, download Filmic Pro. It gives you full control on the camera. You'll be able to lock the focus and the exposure. Keep in mind that shooting 960fps video requires lots of lighting otherwise blur effect. The S9 has the same "issue". It is not an issue in fact it's just how it goes even for professional. Slow motion with bad lighting is a bad idea. Hope it helps

It depends a lot on what you shoot. and what texture you are looking for in your final footage. For more cinematic videos many will recommend 24fps. For slow motion high framerate. Shooting in 60fps you'll get a texture close to "real life". Hope it helps
How's the effect compared with iPhone and Samsung?

Video recording in Iphone XSMax are gorgeous, better than Mate 20 Pro period. For Samsung S10 I don't know but my guess is that they are both better than Mate 20 Pro. Mate 20 Pro just do the work
the video recording quality is quite the disaster. i hope it is fixed in an update some point soon. i'm pretty sure my zte a7 has better video quality....sadly...
