(Before It's News)

The LG G4 Smartphone is one of the most powerful smartphones out there. To take advantage of all its amazing features, including unsurpassed cameras and convenient shortcuts, here’s some smart tips for unlocking the LG G4’s potential.

Snap Quick Pictures Using Shortcut Keys

To quickly get to the camera app when the screen is off or locked with screen security, just double tap the volume down key on the back of the phone. If you keep the “Quick shot” feature enabled, the LG G4 will immediately take a photo as soon as the app opens. This way, you’ll be ready to catch every shot before the moment slips away.

If you’d prefer to disable “Quick shot,” just go to Settings view, pick General > Personal > Shortcut key. There, you’ll be able to deselect “Quick shot.”

Quickly Jot Down Your Ideas Using Shortcut Keys

The rapid launch shortcut key for the QMemo+ note-taking app makes sure you’re able to jot down right away every great idea or thing to remember. Just double-tap the volume up key, and the LG G4 will be ready for you to write or draw a new note.

As an aside, neither of the shortcut keys work when the screen is on and unlocked. This is pretty straightforward because you can launch the apps from the screen, but it’s worth clarifying.

Customize Your Lock Screen Apps

If you don’t have lock screen PIN or pattern set, then go to the Settings view, choose Display > Home & Lock > Lock Screen > Settings > Shortcuts. Tap the icons to change apps or disable. Reorder the apps by dragging and dropping, and don’t forget to select Save once you’re finished.

If you are using Smart Lock, your “Shortcuts” menu is hidden. To temporarily undo this, go to the “Lock Screen” settings menu and change your screen lock type to “Swipe.” You’ll be asked to enter your PIN or pattern to do this. Then, go back to the Lock Screen menu and locate the “Shortcuts” menu. Follow the instructions described in the paragraph above. Afterwards, go to the “Select screen lock” menu. You’ll have to set up your PIN or pattern settings again and confirm the change.

Learn How to Use Manual Mode in the Camera App

One of the biggest draws that LG Mobile has put into the LG G4 smartphone is its professional photography capabilities. If you don’t learn to use them, you are really missing out on some of the best benefits of owning an LG G4. There’s a YouTube video available to get you started. Once you master how to control ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, you’ll have a good foundation.

Use the Front Camera Too

Though the back camera with 16 megapixels and f/1.8 lens is definitely where the brunt of the LG G4’s power lies, the front camera has a whopping 8 megapixels. Take a selfie with the assurance that the picture will still be high quality.

Master these tricks on your LG G4 smartphone, and you’ll be on your way to getting the most out of LG Mobile’s latest and greatest smartphone.
