Actually, the rear camera shoots with dual lenses so you can defocus the background, adding snap to your portraits.<\/p>\n<p>To my delight, I discovered the \u201cTwist phone to open camera\u201d feature, making it so much faster to get to the camera without missing that great Kodak moment.\u00a0 Two quick twists of the wrist while holding the phone opens the camera \u2013 ready to shoot \u2013 even without unlocking the home screen.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry, all other functions other than the camera are still locked so no one will be able to do anything but take a photo without your knowledge.\u00a0 (They will be able to see any popup notifications on the home screen, but unable to interact with them. )<\/p>\n<p>If silly filters are your thing (bless your hearts), the Moto G6 has them as well.\u00a0 Some work better than others, but I can\u2019t even bring myself to show samples. You\u2019ll also enjoy shooting \u201cactive photos\u201d and timelapse videos in 4x, 8x, 16x or 32x speeds.<\/p>\n<p>For those who want to create original art with their photos, then you can experiment till you drop with spot color, selective black and white and selective focus. Really serious, switch on manual mode and you can experiment with ISO speeds, white balance, and exposure compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Group selfies come into their own with this unit, including an easy-to-use \u201cgroup selfie\u201d setting for the front camera, where you merely pan across the group for a really wide angle shot. Additionally, the Panorama setting lets you take far-reaching wide angle shots with the rear-facing camera.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32731\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362-900x92.jpg?resize=900%2C92\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?resize=900%2C92&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?resize=150%2C15&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?resize=300%2C31&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?resize=768%2C79&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?resize=1080%2C111&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143230362.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pano held horizontally<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32730\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503-900x143.jpg?resize=900%2C143\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?resize=900%2C143&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?resize=150%2C24&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?resize=300%2C48&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?resize=768%2C122&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?resize=1080%2C171&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dougbardwell.com\/db\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_20180626_143107503.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pano held vertically<\/p>\n<p>For the perpetually curious, the Moto G6 integrates Google Lens with its landmark and object recognition.\u00a0 Point it at the Washington Monument, and it will bring up its history. Point it at an ordinary object like a wireless mouse and it will tell you what it is and where to buy one. Scanning a QR code or barcode enables you to find more product information.<\/p>\n<p>A feature I did find extremely useful was the Text Scanner function. Point it at anything printed, and then you can paste it into emails, messages, notes and more. \u00a0Scanning business cards is also convenient, even adding the person as a contact if you like.<\/p>\n<p>Storage \u2013 if you shoot a lot,\u00a0or love to carry movies to watch on your phone, you\u2019ll appreciate the MicroSD card slot in the Moto G6, taking up to a 128GB card.\u00a0 Internally, you have your choice of 32GB or 64GB storage.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t have too many apps, like me, or you take lots of videos \u2013 be sure to opt for the 64GB model. You can select either the phone or the memory card for your photo\u2019s destination.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of videos, the picture quality is terrific and the sound through the Dolby Audio front port speaker is quite decent.<\/p>\n<p>The list just keeps coming with all the other features, like face unlock and a fingerprint reader that does more than just the unlocking function. You can also use it to revisit the most recent apps or take you to the home screen.<\/p>\n<p>My only problem to date is trying to take photos in the sun, and not being able to see the screen, which unfortunately is common to many LCD screens.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t upgraded your phone in a while, chances are there will be tons of features that aren\u2019t immediately apparent on this phone.\u00a0 You really need to devote some time to reading the instructions, which also aren\u2019t immediately apparent.\u00a0 Here are two suggestions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/download.lenovo.com\/Motorola\/Manuals\/127983\/3418070\/moto%20g6_UG_NA%20Retail_EN-US_SSC8C29867A.pdf\">Online Users Guide<\/a> for a hyperlinked list of features and benefits you might otherwise miss.<\/li>\n<li>Check out the app on your phone appropriately named Device Help (with the big question mark icon).
