LG G5 DNG - Standard / Wide

Thanks for this post! It is good to see the difference between the standard and wide angle with DNG in perspective.

The second wide angle camera seems quite capable despite having a smaller aperture and lower megapixel output.

I love the FOV of the wide camera, but the iq is significantly lower...

The wide angle camera is lower quality but not bad for a phone camera. The 100% view in the dpreview viewer degrades the image quality. The TIFF and DNG versions are sharper.

Thanks for the images!

Thanks for the sample images! I have the LG G4, and I have to jump through some hoops to get decent looking results from the DNG images, using Adobe's flat field plugin. It's still worth it, but it sounds like this is no longer necessary--you don't see any obvious vignetting or asymmetric color shifts in the DNGs in Lightroom before you do any processing? Maybe LG figured out how to embed the flat field correction profile in the DNG for the G5.

I did not apply any correction for vignetting or distortion. I did select the "Remove Chromatic Aberration". I also adjusted the contrast and applied a bit of sharpening. The flower photo is a little clipped in the red channel so I adjusted the exposure and luminance values. The DNG files are pretty easy to work with and I'm sure that if I spend a little more than 5 minutes I can improve the results.

I have only taken a few photos in good light with this phone and the DNG files are quite impressive considering that it's a phone camera. It takes better photos than most point & shoot cameras I've used in the past.

nice color tones
