This is a problem my co-worker is having; on my phone it's fine. Look at the attached screenshot:

The "selfie" window shows up small rather than full screen. The normal back-facing camera is fine.
 
Click the flash icon.... the white space is there to illuminate and act as a flash when you're in a dark place.... not emotionally.
 
It's the "Smart Selfie" feature touted by LG. If the sensor sees an unappealing image, it automatically crops it.
 
when you're in a dark place.... not emotionally.

Hey, speak for yourself! Every time I'm in a dark place emotionally, I fire up the front camera and turn the flash on...I feel an immediate sense of warmth and comfort! Sometimes I just sit there for days, and days, and days...allowing the selfie flash rays to absorb into my face skin and deep into my bloodstream until a smile encroaches my lips.

Eventually I crawl out of the darkness and into society once more...but I'd never be able to do so without the help of LG's Happy Welcome Bright Positivism Fun Ray™ feature of the G4.

I'm surprised they don't advertise the feature more.

Wow... Ya gotta get out more! ;)
 
okay so i have a question, so my girlfriend's phone was recently dropped in water and now her front doesn't work. is there anyway of fixing it without spending loads of money to fix the entire phone? isn't there like an item you can get to plug into your phone to replace the front camera? like a mini web cam or something?
 
Laura, I believe all the usb port based cameras were for the main back camera. Even then I can't ever recall coming across a review on them so there can't be much out there.

The camera units are fairly self contained, it can probably be easily replaced with the hardest part being the full dissasembly of the phone.

You're awesome!! The way you word things and use your vocabulary is awesome! Very descriptive, and coming from someone who's been in quite the dark place for the last three to four years, this just made me laugh my butt off! I hope you're not ever in a dark place cuz we just kind of personality it sounds like you do alright!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks for the smile....
 
Yehuda Schupper Thank you so much!!! My phone was stuck like that for weeks and thanks to you it was fixed in seconds!
