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
hello everyone ..
now i have been using my s4 for 6 months and i actually enjoyed them ..
but when it comes to the camera the quality is awesome but the shutter speed is why i am disappointed
in this video
i guess a lot of you have seen it
when it takes the photo it's like the phone stopped the time there is no that blur (the slowness in the shutter capturing)
every time i try to capture a moving object i get a blur in the photo
so any one of you have a solution for this ?
and i really can't understand why SGS4 Can't Record 1080p60FPS i guess the hardware is really capable of doing it
i hope to see your opinions .
I can tell the worse of this model is first the camera and second the battery for me.
Talking about the camera: the hardware is possible maybe, but the software still not either. Im listening all days how the members of my job speak about Samsung Galaxy s3, Note, Note 2 reminding the camera was so much better having less megapixels and less options for the photos or videos (one simple AUTO and u had a perfect photo/video everytime). Im very dissapointed with the camera of this model and with the new Note 3 camera too.
Hello everyone,
I've made a video in which I test the camera of the S6 against the camera of the G4. In the video I am comparing a lot of camera topics, such as low light, OIS, audio quality (video) shutter speed etc. Hope you enjoy!

Great video.
Not that it makes a huge difference to the review, but I think you can turn off the feature on the G4 where it immediately takes a pic on launching the camera with a double press of the volume down button. I don't have the G4, but I've heard others say this.

Yup, it can be disabled

I have the XT1640 variant of the G4 Plus. Im noticing a problem in the camera app. It affects every camera app that I tested.
When I try to record a video, the image is very slow and choppy. The video itself looks fine, but while recording the image I see on the phone looks very slow. It distracts me a lot when trying to record anything.
Anyone know why is that and how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot

Im running LineageOS 14.1, unlocked bootloader and Magisk rooted (core only mode).
I've tried using Motorola Stock camera app (flashed) and the default LineageOS camera app. Oh, and I had the same problem when I was using stock ROM.
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs
I had similar issue with all custom roms. Camera became too laggy while recording videos, works fine in sock naugat.
I tried moto camera, snap camera, Google camera, cameringo. But all failed.
Only Footej seems to work. But it had slow transitions between switching mods.
The only solution I found for this is HTC camera. It works perfect for me.
Check and reply if it works.?
I think it's a design failure (or limitation) of the device, because it happened on every rom that i used. I notice tons of heat when the lag occurs, usually it's noticeable when i record in 1080p quality, by at least 10 minits (if i use the dual led's to record it occurs much sooner).
I do not know if it's the msm_thermal throttling the cpu, or if the eMMc chip gets really hot and cant manage all the data that the camera (actually the cpu) tries to store there.
It's a high-end camera managed by a mid-range CPU, SD617.
Anyway, if you record in 720p quality this issue surely wont exist, in my case, i have not any kind of lag when i record in 720p.

.the delay you are experiencing is because of stabilization. In default moto camera app, at the top left corner, hand icon. Turn it off, problem solved

Yes, I have figured it out a while ago. Even so, thank you very much, it was really annoying
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto Z2 Force come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So far I'm pretty pissed off with the camera. I recently tested the LG G6, Huawei Mate 9, OnePlus 5, and now the Moto Z2 Force which I was hoping would be my dream phone. I owned the Z Force and so far and a bit disappointed. The Camera seems to have potential but the software is terrible, at least on my specific device. The camera is plagued with shutter lag which really seems to take a toll on picture quality. Pro mode is what really upset me with only having the option of 1/4 for shutter speed as the longest time for exposure. I have taken a great deal of pictures to compare with the phones listed above, so far the Huawei Mate 9 has had the best camera in my opinion. Obviously, this is totally objective as views will change per individual. I am by no means a photography expert, but I am always in search of a great camera in a smartphone. The biggest reason for my angry toward the quality of the Z2F camera is the retail cost of the phone, I really thought this would be a camera I would have loved. It seems like I may wait to see how the Essentials Phone turns out and am very curious about the Nokia 8, both in terms of camera. To date I think the use of a dual camera, one being monochrome and the other RGB, is the best implementation. Please let me know if the inconsistent shutter I'm facing is just a problem with my unit or if other's share it as well. I really had my heart/mind set on this phone being able to go toe to toe with others in its price range. Side note, the LG G6 wide angle lens was great for taking pictures, I was surprised that I liked the secondary camera being a wide angle lens as it allowed for unique perspective. I let go of the LG G6 because my father broke his phone and really thought the Z2F would be the phone of my dreams.
Update: Twist for camera sometimes hangs and after some time force closes. This has also happened on 2 occasions when opening camera app, viewfinder is black followed by hang and crash.

Camera shutter speed seems to be a stock app issue mostly. I have CameraZoom FX and that works better at taking the picture quickly. I do expect this to improve as the device matures and some updates get pushed out to it.
That being said, the overall photo quality seems to be pretty good overall. The S8 I am leaving does a better job of handling multiple light levels (like say bright window light in an otherwise dimly lit room), but I do think the Z2F has some promise for sure.
I do agree that I think the shutter lag is very 2015.....so hoping Moto does fix that
disappointing camera

I agree with this. The camera app is terrible. I came from the HTC 10 into this phone and the HTC blows it out of the water as far as camera quality goes, and I doubt there's any reason for that as far as the sensor/hardware goes There are also other apps that don't seem to access the front flash on this phone, I.E. Instagram, snapchat, etc. could be a driver issue or something, but motorola needs to get it together with the Android O update.
Has any compared picture quality with Open Camera and the google camera app?
Camera App Update
I just noticed that they added two features to the camera app. Object recognition and landmark recognition.They said that they included some bug fixes but did not elaborate. Hopefully they will continue to work on the app and image quality will improve as the phone matures. I think there is potential to improve low light photo's seeing that the black and white sensor should aid low light photography.
So far I am very happy with my photo's. I am a casual user and happy with the images. Realistically I do not think one can expect DSLR quality on a mobile phone. Maybe one day....
I've used several third party apps, and this camera is total trash compared to even my nearly three year old Galaxy S6.. I have to place dramatic Instagram-style filters on everything to hide how crappy this camera is.
I took this picture with full manual mode and it's quite good for me
why not use Hasellblad?

It's only useful for its optical zoom.
Does anyone have problem with autofocus....? The autofocus on this device is absolutely terrible.
Google Camera port is your friend when it comes to the Z2 Force. Also, Snapseed is a great editor.

So, I'm reading through this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/themes/app-modded-gcam-hdr-t3735494 ; there seems to be no gcam available for Z2, which would be fully functional. Are you saying you solved this issue and have one that works? Perhaps you can post to the thread with your findings if you did?
