The camera only allows black and white pictures? How do I change settings back to take regular color pictures?

Are you using the stock camera app? I'm not sure if LG has filters in the app, but you might have one of those on if they do. Check the settings or shooting modes when you're in the camera app and see if there is anything you accidentally turned on

Sorry... Yes I am using stock camera. For some reason it is showing B&W on screen and when I take pictures. I know I can download other apps like Google camera but I liked the simplicity of the stock one.

That's fine. But do you know if the app has any filter modes? I can't think of any other reason for why it would show black-and-white images

That is what I am trying to find out.. The stock doesn't seem to have any settings to change filters

I have looked at 2 other LG G3 phones with stock camera application to see if there is a filter setting and can't find any. Above please

That is very odd. I don't see any filter on my stock camera app either. Something seems fishy here.... 🐟

Hmm. I suppose you could try clearing data for the camera app. Go to settings > applications > camera and tap on clear data. Can't think of anything else that could fix that. Let me know if it works

Thanks automatically do that with any app that might be faulty. Finally got a chance to try Google Camera and OT also only shows black and white. Back to AT&T we go for a warranty exchange I hope.

If it's also in other apps, I'd assume it's a hardware issue. No reason it should be happening in both if neither of them have filters. Sorry I couldn't help you out, but I hope they get that sorted for you :)

AT&T apparently took forever and fixed it as a screen setting..
