A Picture Perfect Red Carpet Entrance with LG G3
At MTV's Fandom Awards taping, fans will have an opportunity to channel their inner celebrity by taking and sharing the perfect red carpet-worthy selfie using the LG G3 smartphone and the hashtag #LGG3.

LG improved its already-crisp and clear 13-megapixel smartphone camera with optical imaging stabilization plus (OIS+) technology by adding a new Laser Auto Focus feature to the LG G3, making it an ultra-fast focusing camera. The LG G3 also now features gesture controls, which makes taking selfies and group photos a cinch, and a new soft light border performs like a professional glam squad, putting the perfect lighting on a subject for a picture perfect selfie.
