Apologize if this has already been posted. Phonearena does a pretty good overview of the V20 camera and offers some helpful tips for camera newbies like myself. Explains some of the manual features and how to use them. Probably boring if you already know what you are doing, which I do not

Thank you for posting that. I've looked far and wide for an in depth how-to on the manual controls and what they mean and how to properly use them on both my V20 and my G5 prior to buying this phone.

I'm surprised they didn't mention the rear curtain flash function. Because the LED flash isn't very powerful, you do need to be close to your subject. Still, it's how you make light trails and similar effects.

In manual mode, tap the flash icon until you see the lightning bolt with a letter "R" on it. This will fire the flash only at the end of an exposure. It's especially useful with long exposures like this one of 15" and spinning a set of LED lights.
