The camera app gives you more control than most, though. Unless you look deeper, its as simple as anything. And with the Auto HDR mode set as standard, theres really little need to do anything but press the shutter button. But theres more if you look for it.
The LG G4s manual mode is incredibly powerful, giving you almost as much control as a DSLR camera. All thats missing is aperture control, because like 99.5 per cent of phones this one has a fixed-aperture lens.
You can still do an awful lot with it. Incredible control over ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, focusing and more unlocks bags of creative potential. We also found that the great optical image stabilisation means you can shoot handheld at up to 1/4 exposure settings without ending up with a blurry mess. Youll need to keep dead still, of course. No shaky hands.
At night and indoors, though, the manual mode can be crazy-slow. It seems to take a while for the poor little things brains to decide what settings to use other than the ones you specify.
And, another biggie is that throughout the camera app the LG G4 doesnt accurately show what your photos will end up like in the preview screen. Theyll be as good or better than what you see, but Samsung does much better here, showing you a pretty accurate preview.
What about all the other modes? LG has cut out the guff this year. Theres a dual shot mode that takes pics with both the back and front cameras, plus panorama. Everything else has been dumped. We had expected a Light Trail mode that lets you shoot longer exposures to make lights look like lines drawn in the air, but in the software Ive been testing you have to do this with the manual mode. Pro tip: youll need to use a long exposure time.
