LG's latest flagship has the same tool and setup as its predecessors but inside it's packed with new features for video pros and Instagram lovers spec wise the main camera has been downgraded in the g6 but you won't notice much of a difference in the results plus you'll actually be more likely to use that wide-angle sensor because this time around it's got a significant boost in quality selfie lovers may be sad to hear there are less megapixels in the G sixes front camera as well but you'll now be able to fit more into each shot thanks again to that wide-angle option but the most notable upgrades are actually found on the app you'll notice a new camera roll strip next to the viewfinder that lets you preview all your shots without leaving the app there's also a new panorama option under mode in the main camera which lets you take a full 360-degree shot of your surroundings and share as a flattened image or interactive 360 you'll have to swipe or move the phone to view click on the auto icon on the top left and you'll now see a new square format for social media friendly snaps the default snapshot uses a top square as a viewfinder and the bottom to preview your shot or click on mode if you want to get more artistic there's a match shot for side by sides or top two bottoms a guide shot if you want to stop motion feel or catalog effect or make a four shot collage without having to download a third-party app and finally you can add a customized watermark to all of your shots from the settings menu add your signature and make sure you turn it on just know there's no way to get rid of it once it's on a shot the video camera also has a few notable upgrades it borrowed from LG's b20 this includes a manual mode that allows you to change the audio levels white balance focus ISO and shutter speed right from the viewfinder or click on the Settings icon for even more control frame rate bitrate or tracking focus this one is great for action shots kids and pets so that your subject never loses focus but unless you're a pro video user or Instagram addict the main reason why you'd favor the camera on the g6 is still that wide-angle lens an old feature that has now been refined on this model
