Got the Mav out for a sunny day ride a week or so ago. Finally got another short drive today, after the z-pack started kicking my bronchitis.

Fire pit action last weekend. I took pics with both the regular and telephoto lenses, but can't recall which are which at the moment. Just wanted to post here in my thread LOL.

That's a great shot!

Thanks! I like talking pictures of the hot coals, but I'm always afraid I'm going to damage the camera trying to get a close-up. Note the sweet gum balls in the center.. those evil things barely burn!

Our cats doing cat things. The one of the cat licking condensation off of the window is a crop from the full image.

LOL ! Your cat in the first picture looks more like a dog sticking his tongue out that far.

Does the V50 still have the point zoom feature in the camera app?

What is that? Doesn't sound familiar.

It's a feature that was available in previous LG phones like the V30. It allows you to smoothly zoom in a specific area depending on where you selected.

Oh, it's a video feature. I'll check in a bit.

I couldn't find anything that looked like that, but I've never used cineshot before

Oh ok. So the V50 still has cineshot?

Yep. I found what you were asking about. Must not have been enough light the first time I tried it.

Wow very nice! LG took that away on the V60.

Bummer. Seems they took away one of the rear cameras too and replaced it with a giant sensor for cropped "zoom" pics. How well is that working? Of course it seems most of the time the V40 and V50 would decide there wasn't enough light for the zoom lense and just crop a shot from the main lense.

Yeah I've found that the newer phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro really let you use the telephoto lens in many situations even at night provided there is some light available. I took some pretty admirable shots at night on the 7 Pro using the telephoto. For the V60 the main sensor as a zoom actually worked very well and much better than the main lens crop from older phones since they didn't use the telephoto. My main problem with the V60 and the reason why I ultimately took it back was because LG did not give us the option for two different focal lengths for portrait mode shots as well as the portrait mode suffering from lack of HDR in some bright scenes. The background would get blown out more than not when the normal mode HDR was very good. It suffered the same issue from the front camera when using portrait mode as opposed to normal photos. I could have easily waited it out but from my experience with the LG V10, V20 and V30, LG does not have the best track record with post release camera updates. But the zoom was very reasonable from the main lens since it uses a large 64mp sensor. I enjoyed the V60 otherwise and the battery life was out of this world in today's world of smartphones.

Remnants of s'mores night with the family. One just has the exposure turned down to capture more detail in the brightest areas.
