    Just tried the app briefly, looks very good but unfortunately is lacking some features (also absent in my stock camera of LG G6, this is why I am looking for an alternative).

    1. Please add a 3:2 aspect ratio with maximum possible resolution. Currently, there is only 720:480 option. Many people are used to 3:2, especially those who come from mirror camera world. Of course, I can crop the image postfactum but the thing is that it is additional work, and, more importantly, the guiding grids in the camera (3:3, golden section etc.) are useless if I want to crop the image to 3:2 afterwards. The existing possibility to show a frame correspponding to the desired aspect ratio, is not a substitution for the guide grids.

    2. Please add an option in settings to set the maximal ISO level. Sometimes I have to take a photo quickly and do not have time to check the ISO. Or, I can simply forget about this. It would be a big disappointment, when the moment has passed, to discover that the photo was taken at high ISO and is noisy...

    3. It would be great to implement an additional scene mode - let's call it "Night shot hand held". Such an option is implemented e.g. in Canon IXUS cameras and is very handy. In this mode, in dark conditions, the camera sets ISO to relatively low value and takes a few shots with short exposure, combining them in a single picture afterwards. This way, it is possible to get amasingly clear, crisp and noise-free pictures in dark conditions without a tripod. This should be easy to implement, as this mode is essentially the same as HDR, except that the ISO should be restricted and no exposure bracketing is done between the successive shots.

    Also, as a general remark, it would be good to have brief descriptions in your online guide explaining what exactly various scene modes do - how they modify the aperture, exposure etc.

    Thank you,
    Igor

    +1 for 3:2 shooting

    I've just ran into this issue.

    First year we ditch the camera the to rely only on phones. (4:3 or 16:9)

    When I sorted/edited our pictures in December it turned out that many good looking pictures where impossible to arrange nicely for 10x15cm prints.

    3:2 shooting at highest resolution with 3x3 grid is absolutely necessary.

    I don't mind if a few useless pixels are cropped out is 10x15 printing won't be ruined
