Video quality - LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review

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 LG V60 ThinQ 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.

Part of the reason I went for this phone over another Samsung was due to the top notch video stabilization to be had in LG's video recording software/hardware.

Video quality is great, but the microphones are a step down from the LG V20 when it comes to handling loud environments. For 99.9% of users, this is no big deal and they pick up sound just fine. I'm that 0.1% that likes to crank it not up to 11, but to blow past even that. I put this to the test last weekend while covering some jet car races, and these videos were standing 20 feet or less away from them. Standing next to one doing afterburner pops feels like standing next to a tree as it is struck by lightning.
I shot these in manual video mode and had the mic gain lowered until the wave guide showed no clipping, but you can still hear some minor distortions. Needless to say, VOLUME WARNING on these videos.

By contrast, this video was shot from a similar vantage point, but on the V20 using manual video mode. There is no distortion on it.

I was hoping for the V60 mics to perform at least as well as the V20, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. The V20 advertising made note of the high SPL abilities of its mics, but it seems they favored going with quantity over quality with the V60.

Mooncat:
Wow cool videos!
I also came from the V20, great phone! I didn't know the "high spl" was a spec of that phone's mics, interesting!
It would be interesting to test the sensitivity with low level sounds on the V60 vs V20. I'm guessing the V60 mics have better sensitivity. Plus the V60 is supposed to have a "whisper mode" to process low level sounds to enhance quality.
FYI, For those who don't know, the V60 mic itself is probably the source of distortion , dropping the gain in manual mode is the right move to avoid clipping distortion. Some professional mics come in dual varieties, normal spl and high spl. The padded ones have built in(non removable) higher spl handling to limit clipping distortion...that was probably the case for the V20. These mics normally have a red dot on them to differentiate from the normal mics.

Auto focus is amazing, dynamic range is also good. Slow motion looks phenomenal. It is stable if you have good enough hands
Here are some things that are disappointing me a lot:
1) only the stock camera is capable to use the OZO audio system.
2) Much worse, the port of GCam I am using will not even record a decent mono audio track - - the volume is too low and there is some noise.
3) Stock camera at 1080p has an audio/video out of sync problem. Not much, but it's annoying. GCam doesn't have this issue.
4) Not directly related to video: there is no stock audio recording app being able to use the OZO audio system. Stereo recording with other apps produces artifacts and it's not usable.
One of the reasons I bought this phone was the 3 mics and the advanced audio system, but so far I am not happy with it. I really hope Nokia will address these issues in future updates.
I don't like the 1080p because it's very cropped in (due to EIS). 4k looks very shaky if you don't concentrate on holding your hands very still. Filming while moving looks very jittery. Quality of both video and audio is great though.
For my quality is not good, it have a lot of noise and the EIS is the worst that i have ever seen. Even the gcam EIS makes the videos barely unusable if you are moving. Not even talk about low ligth. My moto x style from 3 yearos ago is at least 10 times better. I am really dissapointed with this thing of the phone.
EIS in 1080p mode is forced and no way of turning it off (Stock cam app)
awesome
video quality is pretty good

Audio quality on video recordings is very poor. Lots of ambient noise being picked up and amplified especialy sound from a ceiling fan running overhead. Is there a way to turn on noise cancellation during video recording?
In many cases the background around moving objects/people is heavily blurred/warped/distorted.
Taking the same videos on my older 3T or iPhone 6S has overall somewhat lower quality, but there are no warping artifacts.
this is really useful, thanks!

Of course, it’s not a movie to shoot, but the camera is good, I like it.

does anyone have any problem with SOUND.
Wen I film in cinema or normal mode. Mic wind noise off or ON. it generates some artificial noise. even if it is quite or loud. I just can not get rid off it. (it sounds like there is air-condition in front or rear of the phone)
Any IDEA?

I have the same issues I was unsure if I had a defective unit, Never had such issue with previous phones.
This is a joke phone. what a SH**
I need HELP. the phone is 1200 eur and I can not use a movie that I film my daughter on PIANO.
In there youtube sony clips it says, the best professional sound with bla bla bla... Unbelievable. Now I know why Sony is below everyone.
The same problem is in Note 10+
Try turning off Dolby Atmos in your audio settings. At least for playback on the phone it nearly eliminates the buzzing.

Still pretty audible here, I'll go for a return. Thanks for the help
Try to play with the mic level in Cinema Pro.
I've had this phone for a few weeks now.
I'm fairly happy with the cameras for still photos - but video is something of a disappointment.
The "cinema pro" app does not actually give you a great level of control. A major issue is that it restricts you to one, wide format aspect ratio. You can't use it to film in 16:9.
It allows you to fiddle with things like ISO, shutter speed and framerate a little bit - but doesn't give you access to the full range that's possible. I wanted to experiment with using 15fps, for example, or choosing to crank the ISO right up to get maximum low light info whilst knowingly accepting a high level of noise. It won't let you do either of these things. Finally, it won't shoot in H264 at all.
Various third party camera apps allow you quite a lot of access to manual control - however, having tested out quite a few of them quite a bit (including filmic pro), they all have problems crashing or producing unusable jerky video.
In the end, unless the predetermined aspect ratio in the Cinema Pro app happens to be what you want to use all the time, you are pretty much stuck using the standard stock camera app, which doesn't offer you anything more than other Xperia phones.

Selfie quality

You're beautiful and everyone knows it. That's why you take selfies. Rate this thread to express how the front-facing camera of the LG V60 ThinQ performs. A higher rating indicates that the front camera produces fantastic results consistently.

Not as good as it could be but I rarely use it or find myself taking selfies anyways unless they include the family with me.
Android 10 ("x" version) review, haven't tried Android 11.
Front facing cameras with autofocus are unicorns in the mobile world and this one has it (PDAF). As a result, selfie quality is massively improved by just this alone. 10 megapixels is also good as less is more when it comes to small sensors and this is a pretty small sensor.
However, using it with the stock camera drives me nuts! The problem is face detection. The moment it detects a face, it ruins the white balance and is prone to blowing out hightlights. It wants to give a "healthy" glow to the skin and and really emphasizes the exposure of it, but what you get it is a yellow-green hue that massively throws everything off and blow outs with nothing to about them (using HDR for selfies is often terrible regardless no matter the OEM). It's insane. You can sometimes trick it and watch the white balance go back and forth in a "what do I do" manner, like a optical illusion where the human brain doesn't know what perspective it to latch onto. An option to turn off face detection is mandatory. The selfie camera also defaults to a beauty mode ENABLED and there is no way to set another default. You can change the options of it to as low as the sliders will allow, but you need to watch for it all the time. Quite annoying and poorly designed. On the plus side, the stock camera has an option for distortion correction and really convenent remote shutter options using a fist or your voice. Otherwise, the output is slightly better than regular cameras because of the PDAF and LG's processing leaning sharp but not OVERDONE (it is way better than the back camera, no oversharpening halos or weirdness). Nothing will beat RAW, but this is one of the better ones.
