LG VX-8100
Let's talk Camera - How To's (Settings, etc.)
Okay, I have a pretty good working knowledge of cameras, but am fairly new to digital, and this is my first camera phone.
So far, I'm getting pretty decent pictures outside, but, as someone else also mentioned, indoor photos are quite grainy, and often have a washed out look.

Can anyone who is really familiar with camera phones, or who has played with this one a lot more, please post some specifics about camera settings for different lighting situations?
And no, I'm not expecting high quality photos f...

Have you any further insights? I just got the phone and haven't decided to keep it yet (want to, but other concerns may be more important.)

I am also curious about the camera, this is my 3rd camera phone and I think it takes very grainy pictures My last LG, the 6100 took much better and clearer pictures. I keep thinking that it is me and that I have it on the wrong settings .

This is my first camera phone but I also have in hand a new Verizon branded Audiovox cdm8940.
From another forum someone posted reference photos, photos straight from that phone and then enhanced same. They weren't happy & the photos weren't great (color was way off),
but the one photo I took with the 8940 phone, messaged it to the 8100 (only way to get the picture onto my PC) compared with a similar picture from the 8100. Both are on miniSD transferred to PC & opened full screen in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Closeups of my cat under low light, don't think I used the flash. Not grainy, color decent (but then the cat is sepia toned). 640x480. I have since tried one on the 8100 at highest resolution w/good lighting - no del...

I read you review of this phone. Unless I misunderstood the write up, you are mistaken in it. I get from the write up that you say that the flash on the 8100 work with shooting video too. Not that I know of.

i generally use the 640 resolution setting it reduces the camera lag and the pics come out nicely in well lit areas.
