LG's new consumer QWERTY phone also offers a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. The camera also supports video recording at three different resolutions, with video recording time up to 16GB. The video quality can be optimized with normal, fine or super camcorders settings.

Additionally, the camera app provides Macro Mode for up close pictures, Panorama Mode for three guided sequential shots as well as Scene Mode for auto, portrait, landscape, sports and night settings. Smile detection is also part of the package. Camera settings also include custom brightness, white balance, shutter sounds, color effects and a self-timer.
