**The Camera Performance of the LG G4: A Comprehensive Review**

As I began recording video with my LG G4, I wanted to test its capabilities under various conditions. The camera features on this device are quite impressive, and I was eager to put them through their paces. I started by setting up a sample video with the rear-facing camera at the highest setting possible, which is 4K resolution. The audio was set to VI, using the internal microphone, and we were recording in cloudy conditions, with a gentle breeze blowing across the scene. This setup would help me gauge the camera's performance under challenging weather conditions.

As I slowly panned across the scene, doing it all handheld, I wanted to see how well the camera would capture the movement. The LG G4 handled this task quite well, and the resulting video showed minimal blur or motion artifacts. I then moved closer to an object, using the tap-to-focus feature, to test its autofocus capabilities. Again, the results were excellent, with sharp images captured without any noticeable lag or delays.

I decided to switch back to the auto-focusing mode and walk away from the scene, this time allowing the camera to automatically adjust its exposure settings. This would help me evaluate the device's dynamic range and ability to capture a broad spectrum of lighting conditions. The LG G4 performed admirably in this regard as well, capturing a wide range of tonal values without any visible artifacts.

Next, I took some pictures using the rear-facing camera in semi-indoor conditions, where the lighting is often the most challenging environment for smartphone cameras. However, the LG G4 excelled in these conditions, capturing detailed images with excellent color accuracy even in areas with limited light. I then enabled the flash and took more shots, finding that the device's low-light performance was not only satisfactory but also surpassed my expectations.

To further test the camera's capabilities, I shot some pictures using the rear-facing camera in completely artificial lighting conditions, which are often difficult for smartphones to handle. Again, the LG G4 impressed, capturing stunning images with excellent color accuracy and minimal noise. I even enabled the flash on occasion, finding that it was unnecessary as the device could produce high-quality images without it.

Moving on to the front-facing camera, I took some pictures using this feature in semi-indoor conditions, where the lighting is often soft and diffuse. The LG G4 performed well here as well, capturing clear and detailed images of myself. However, I found that the camera struggled slightly with low-light conditions, producing images that were not as sharp or detailed.

In outdoor conditions, the front-facing camera fared better, capturing crisp and clear images even in low light. While it did struggle in very harsh lighting conditions, the results were still respectable. I also experimented with abrupt exposure changes, finding that the camera handled these situations smoothly without any noticeable artifacts or delays.

One of the most impressive aspects of the LG G4's camera performance is its ability to handle indoor lighting conditions, where many smartphones struggle to capture well-defined images. The device's optical image stabilization feature proved particularly useful in these conditions, helping to reduce camera shake and noise. Additionally, the camera's color accuracy was excellent, even in artificial lighting environments.

Another notable feature of the LG G4's front-facing camera is its ability to produce decent bokeh effects, even in artificial lighting conditions. This is a testament to the device's advanced software processing capabilities and the quality of the sensor itself. Overall, I found the front-facing camera to be an excellent performer, capturing clear and detailed images in both indoor and outdoor environments.

To conclude my review of the LG G4's camera performance, I must say that this device is one of the best smartphone cameras available on the market today. Its ability to capture stunning images in a wide range of lighting conditions is truly impressive, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality camera phone. While there are some minor limitations to the camera, such as its restricted 4K video recording capabilities and occasional struggles with low-light conditions, these are largely outweighed by its many strengths.

**Comparison with Other Devices**

One question that has been asked by several viewers is whether the LG G4's camera performance compares favorably with other devices in the market. In particular, some have requested a comparison with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, which features an impressive camera system of its own.

To address this request, I have posted additional videos on the LG G4's camera performance, including side-by-side comparisons with the S6 Edge. These comparisons will provide viewers with a more nuanced understanding of how these devices stack up against each other in terms of camera capabilities and overall image quality.

In short, if camera performance is your top priority when choosing a smartphone, then the LG G4 is an excellent choice. Its rear-facing camera features are among the best on any device currently available, and its front-facing camera performs admirably in most conditions. While there may be some minor limitations to consider, these are largely outweighed by the device's many strengths, making it an outstanding option for anyone seeking a high-quality camera phone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit and in this video we'll be looking at the camera performance of the LG G4 and the camera specs on the LG G4 are very impressive uh the rear facing camera is a 16 megap shooter uh and this is the laser focus which will assist in focusing we also have a colored Spectrum which LG LG says that enhances the colors and uh produces accurate white balance for color accuracy and this is the LED flash uh moving to the front-facing camera it's a 8 megap shooter also another thing is to noce that LG G4 also has Optical image stabilization and LG has said that they have improved the optical image stabilization over the LG uh G3 and I have taken a lot of sample shots and video uh with both the front facing as well as the rear facing camera I'll show you all those sample shots even with selfie shots but before that let me quickly show you the camera interface and LG has made some changes uh this is the default interface that you get and uh if you tap here by default it will be the auto mode but if you want even more simpler functions I would say you can just go to the simple mode and here we actually have nothing you can just tap on anything and it'll just take this shot nothing else but I would say that uh we also have this auto mode and here you have further settings for example you have mode uh by default you can go to the auto mode Panorama and dual mode dual mode is nothing but uh it works with both the front facing as well as the uh rear facing let's just go back to the auto mode and here you have the basic settings like you can adjust the flash Etc uh but we also have a full uh manual mode and uh people who are familiar with cameras will really love this mode and here let me actually adjust the I lower it it's pretty high as you can see you can adjust everything from ISO to white balance uh to focusing can I can adjust the white balance and actually we also have this is for focusing and using this as you can see I can adjust the uh focusing the white balance is not that correct so let me adjust that and as you can see here so you have a lot of control we can also adjust the shutter speed which is very impressive so if you know a lot about cameras you will really like this and we can also take pictures in raw by default they will shoot in JPEG but we can also shoot it in raw if you would like so you can do post processing if you have an idea about that so the amount of controls that are offered in the manual mode are amazing and if you know what you're doing and you are comfortable with the manual mode you'll really like this mode uh to be fair I did all my testing in the auto mode so let me show you the sample shots and give you an idea and to give you an idea the focusing is really fast you just tap in and the laser focus actually uh focuses very fast but one thing I have noticed is that in very low lighting conditions even with the laser autof focusing it can take sometimes up to a second now let me actually show you the sample shots that I've taken with this device so that you can judge the performance these were shot with the rear facing camera of the LG G4 and as you can see the colors are accurate and also the pictures have a lot of detail as the lens on the G4 has a 1.8 aperture I could also get some beautiful Bou effects without any issues even in the auto mode as you can see from the sample shots when it comes to color accuracy here also I was very impressed the LG G4 produced pictures which were accurate in terms of color reproduction and also for the most part the exposure was very good Sample video at 1080p on this LG G4 and the audio that you're hearing is also being recorded by the internal microphone uh this LG G4 can also record video in 4k I'll also have a sample uh footage with the 4K video recording uh but do let me know what you feel about the video recording uh at 1080p uh this LG G4 also has Optical image stabilization and it's a pretty windy day today so there might be quite a bit of wind noise let's just move closer to an object and as you can see that cactus but uh we have the tap to focus and if you tap in it will focus so you can use the tap to focus I'll just leave it on autofocus now and I'm just going to walk back so this should give you an idea how will be the video recording if you were walking handheld so this is the sample uh video recording with the LG G4 at 1080 ping the sample video with the LG G4 at the highest setting possible that is 4K and the video that I'm recording uh the audio is also VI the internal microphone and it's a cloudy day today let's just uh move and there's quite a bit of wind so they might be uh wind noise let me just uh slowly pan and I'm doing this handheld so do let me know what do you feel about the video recording let's again move closer to an object and again we have the tap to focus so you can ustan I'll just go back to the autofocusing mode and uh we'll just uh walk back now so this will be the sample uh video footage at 4K with the LG G4 these pictures were shot in semi-indoor conditions and here also I would say the LG G4 excelled and as you can see the pictures have a lot of detail and most of the smartphone cameras generally have issues and these sort of lighting conditions and and here I enabled the flash but here also the LG G4 did very well this is without the Flash and here I enabled the flash some more pictures in semi-indoor conditions now these pictures were shot in completely artificial Lighting in my office and again here as you can see the LG G4 did very well even in completely artificial light and the color accuracy again is very good though it can take some time for focusing in particularly low lighting conditions but the results are actually very good and I do feel the optical image stabilization really helps here I enabled the flash but here even without the flash as you can see the picture was very good you can also get some decent Bou effects even in artificial lighting these were shot with the front-facing camera and in outdoor conditions the front-facing camera does very good also in semi-indoor condition it does actually really good but in very low lighting condition again it's okay but the pictures are not very sharp in uh completely artificial lighting this part of the video with the LG GeForce front facing camera at the highest resolution possible that is 1080P and I'm recording this in the evening this is around 6:30 so not very harsh lighting but still as you can see there is plenty of lighting so this should give you an idea how will be the video recording uh in outdoor lighting condition so let me just also move around and see how it handles abrupt exposure as you can see so this is a sample video recording with the front facing camera of the LG G4 4 this part of the video is being recorded with the front-facing camera of the LG G4 and this is in completely artificial Lighting in my office I have just one tube light lit on and uh this is completely artificial light let me switch on one more light to see how it handles that and this is with one more light so this should give you an idea how would be the uh video performance with the front-facing camera in artificial lighting conditions so what do I feel about the camera performance of this LG G4 as you have seen from the sample shots the camera performance is outstanding uh the rear facing camera thanks to its f1.8 lens can gather in a lot of light obviously the outdoor shots came out to be really good but the highlighting fact was that even in indoor lighting conditions and in artificial lighting the LG G4 excelled and I have to say uh the indoor shots that I've got even in low lighting it's the best that I've seen on any smartphone out there even earlier uh I used to think that this uh this is the Samsung Galaxy S6 uh was actually very good but but in indoor lighting I feel the LG G4 are actually surpassed it when we move to the front-facing camera uh the front facing camera is 8 megapix shooter and in terms of static shots I would say it did very good but and outdoor videos also came out really nice another good thing that I liked is the audio pickup was very good but again it's sad to see that the front-facing camera in terms of video is only restricted up to 1080p uh we have 4K video recording but that's restricted only for the rear facing camera so to sum it up I would say if camera is the highest priority as of now LG G4 is the best smartphone out there in terms of camera performance some of you have also asked me to compare it with the uh Galaxy S6 this is the S6 Edge that I have if you guys would like uh something like that do let me know in the comment section and I'll try to do a side by-side comparison with the S6 and the LG G4 I've also posted other videos on the LG G4 so make sure you check them out and if you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel hit
