Can anyone recommend a good stable camera app for the LG Optimus V (VM670)?
LG Camera, when it runs is the best camera app. But it crashes too often on this phone. Actually, sometimes it crashes the phone, so I quickly uninstalled it.
Vignette Demo runs nice, but there is a long delay when taking pictures.
Camera FV-5 Lite is a nice camera app. You can press a button to focus, then quickly take a picture. But it has no videocam and sometimes crashes.
What are the rest of you using? Tell us!
For pictures, I use "camera illusion", and for video recording, "videocam illusion".
ICS Camera is great for pictures, videos, and panoramas!

I think the original Android app takes better photos
The only problem with this app is the HDR
I installed the original app 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, none of them has the HDR
Any way to solve this?
Anyway?
I'm a little confused as to what's supposed to happen with this dng camera format. Like is google gonna update there camera app in the play store so it supports dng and the extra features? Or will we have to use this L camera thing I'm using from github? Or does google own l camera and it's still in testing? Like what exactly is supposed to happen here, someone just clarify this please.

Yea I have the same question , it's good that you asked this. I think camera app will be available in a few weeks because they need to optimize it ... It's just a guess but the thing I didn't like in that GitHub camera is that I can't view picture after I took it, I need to manually go to gallery app ... also 4K is available only in 4:3
Could anyone please post photos clicked using stock and 3rd party apps?
In some reviews it's mentioned certain manual features (like shutter speed) cannot be controlled in Moto X style/Pure. Is it true?
true for stock camera. can't adjust iso either. the camera app blows.

Moto Camera app versus Google Camera, in panorama
The first attached file, is a panorama with the Google Camera app. The second is a panorama with the Moto Camera app. With Panorama, the Moto app does not handle lightt well at all. For any indoor panorama shots, use Google Camera.
And of those two photos. I can tell you from being there. The lighting in the room is very much like is shown in the Google Camera shot.
panorama is garbage on this phone. it's such a low resolution, it's always blurry never in focus.. it's god awful.

Try it with the Google Camera app. What I have posted here, is chopped down during upload to XDA and are not the full size photos.
Thanks for all the posts!!
Could anyone pls try the manual camera app and let me know if the Raw files, ISO, Aperture control etc. are supported on Moto x Pure?
I read somewhere that the camera apk2 is not included in moto camera app and thereby limiting some of the functionalities. Thanks for the reply!
Manual camera does not work. It crashes constantly if you try to change ISO or any of the other settings. I don't understand what Moto was thinking? Surely there is a way to provide a nice point and shoot experience while also allowing advanced settings if the user is so inclined. This phone has a killer Sony Sensor and the Moto Camera app handicaps it terribly.
I installed Google camera on day one and haven't touched the Moto camera since I experienced it's awfulness.

The Moto camera app is complete trash for panoramic shots. I'm not sure what they were thinking there.
I too have experienced the crashing apps from trying to change ISO. Bummer because I love using FV-5 and it is pretty much useless on this phone.

They flat out excluded the Lollipop Camera2 API. That is why nothing works and you get the crashes. Hopefully someone smarter than I can bake it into a custom rom soon.
Motorola excluded the camera2api for some dumb ass reason. No manual controls at all.
I use the Google Camera app, overall I get better results than the Moto crap app.
Can you get Google's camera to record in UHD?

This is getting depressing. With things like this and the non-enhanced dialer. This is not the "pure" Android experience I was looking for. It at least this is resolved by using Google Camera. Google does not have a separate enhanced dialer app.

Open camera can record in UHD 3840 x 2160
I use open camera but with no stabilization I don't even really bother taking photos at all. Especially since even using flash produces blurry photos with the slightest subject movement. I've been very disappointed with the quality in that department. If your taking a still and nothing is moving even the slightest then the image is good.

You are saying that when you check the auto-stabilize option, it doesn't work for you?
To those that use Open Camera, does the stock gallery display the pictures taken? Seems that with the stock Moto camera, Google camera, and Camera MX, pictures taken by any of them show up in the gallery. Pictures taken with Open Camera? Nope :\

The pictures on my phone showed up under the albums tab, in a folder called OpenCamera on the stock gallery.
I wish OpenCamera had and option to save to the external sdcard though.

Hmm.. seems that I fixed my own issue. Under Options > More camera controls, if you have Use Storage Access Framework checked, it seems it wasn't having my photos appear in the gallery. With it unchecked, photos I now take are. Don't know the cause of that.
Right above that option is the Save location, where you can have the photos saved to the external sdcard :good:
Hello everyone
I am trying to do a focus bracketing photo but for some reason open camera's photos are somewhat blurry even in the focus region. I have uploaded a pic taken from open camera (1st one) and one taken from stock camera (2nd) to explain better my problem. Anyone else has it? (I was using it in LG G5 flawlessly).
Also, anyone knows a camera app that can do focus bracket with auto stepping?
