The LG G4 is capturing the hearts and soul of Instagram photographers and bloggers as it blazes its trail through the country. For Liezel Malherbe, editor, 9Lives, says it’s not only easy to take good pictures with the LG G4, but also convenient. “Having a camera that takes such high quality pictures on your mobile device, means you do not have to switch to your other camera. Therefore you can take pictures with your LG G4, and then switch between social media and your camera while you are working at an event. “
For Tim Moolman, local Instagram photographer, the Manual Mode camera is the LG G4’s camera’s best feature because it allows him to have almost full control over the camera. “I can set my ISO and shutter speed to work together with the f1.8 aperture to achieve creative effects no other smartphone allows me to.”
One of Tim’s photographs on Instagram demonstrate this creativity. In his picture of a watch with a skateboard in the background, the watch is in focus while the skateboard is blurred.
Tim, together with a number of other local Instagram photographers, who tried out the LG G4. Their images, taken with the LG G4 can be viewed on Instagram by following Follow @LGSouthAfrica (#LGG4) to. Consumers can also vote of their favourite image and win prizes.
