New LG video uses pro photographer to show off the 16MP rear camera on the LG G4

Now that the cat is out of the bag about the rear camera on the upcoming LG G4, the manufacturer has decided to pull out all of the stops in promoting the 16MP snapper that adorns the back of its new flagship phone. This morning, LG has released a video that stars professional "landscape, travel and humanitarian photographer" Colby Brown, who goes through some of the new features to be found on the handset's new rear-facing camera.

Brown says that even a .1 difference in aperture can make a difference in how a camera handles light. He compares the f/1.8 aperture on the LG G4's rear camera to his own professional equipment and says that it takes "incredible images in dark environments, with less noise." 

The photographer also reveals that a sensor on the phone will tell the camera whether you are taking pictures inside or outdoors, making the necessary adjustments so that pictures taken using the LG G4 always show the most accurate colors. While the LG G4's rear-facing camera can make adjustments on the fly for non-professional photographers, the manual mode allows those who know what they are doing to adjust settings like the shutter speed, ISO and white balance.

LG will be taking the wraps off of the new camera and the rest of the handset in New York City on April 28th.
