I have the camplus attached to my G5. However, i realise sometimes it appear to be charging without any cable plug in. I can see the lightening symbol on the battery icon and when i lock the phone the red notifications light appear. It happen a few minutes and it stop. I am not using the camplus to control the camera app while using the phone. Is the camplus charging my phone?

Does the 4K video recording limits to 5 mins like on the G4? Or can continuously record like FHD?

Seems like it is also 5 mins.

I read like the battery counter do not take the additional capacity on the campus. And the campus will charge the yellow battery if it drop, thus maintaining about 100% until the campus battery is fully depleted.

In my opinion, i think the battery counter should take both batteries capacities into consideration. And the campus battery should be discharge on usage, not charging the yellow battery.

mom's G5 wide angle at MBS skypark

she was only shooting auto (and the above pic has HDR on plus honestly i tried manual on the wide angle before and it doesnt help much).

My G4 on manual (iso50, 8s shutter) for comparison

Yes, I do agree the software should also be able to track the camplus battery capacities. So it is normal for the camplus to charge the phone? Initially I thought that the camplus will not be able to charge the phone's battery. But the charging starts at different interval so I am not really sure when it will start to charge the phone, I only realise it when I see the red LED light when the screen is off.

Does anyone find the new Instagram layout is very similar to the LG UI 5.0?

guys, any luck with good glass tampered screen protector from Taobao? Feel like trying this below, since it can cover fully. Read a few reviews at the bottom, seems good?

no she only knows how to shoot auto. That G5 wide angle was auto with HDR on

The G4 shot was taken by me (using my own phone), not my mom. the phone was on a selfie stick attached to a compact tripod with ND filter put over the lens. The filter blocks light going in (like sunglasses), allowing the shutter speed to be set longer (beyond 2 seconds) without blowing out the light sources.

Yes the campus internal battery will charge the yellow battery. Similar to using a portable battery but no cable attached.

it only recharges the battery when you use the camera

so if you have a camplus attached and you use the phone without taking photos, the camplus does nothing to charge your phone. Its like the camplus is "stingy" and only wants to use its 1200mAh battery purely for photo/video taking.

Yeah, but the g5 shot, was that you or her?

if it were me I'd have shot in manual since i had a tripod on hand anyway

This behaviour is even more undesirable... So dedicated...

so another way to look at it would be

when your battery reaches 5% and your states - "battery level too low for taking photos" - attaching camplus enables the phone to take photos?

It's alittle stupid though - hopefully something that can be fixed with an update

thats why i think LG itself doesnt even know how to design a good module, I dont know how it can convince 3rd party devs that its serious about modularity. Even the way they designed the modularity isnt exactly very versatile because things can only plug in at the bottom so if you wanted to make a module with things like a camera it would be really awkward.

i think the only module i would want to see is something the same size as the default bottom piece, but filled as much as possible with extra battery.

Curious, what tripod are you using for your phone?
