• Pause & Resume Recording: pause and start in record mode for one continuous video file
• Live Shot: take still photos while recording in video mode
• Video Screen Shot: capture still shots from a video during playback
• Live Effect: select from a variety of visual effects while recording video

Each device also comes with a bevy of multitasking apps unique to LG smartphones, including:

• QuickMemo™: Create and share personalized memos by taking screen captures and adding handwritten drawings or messages – like looking up directions on the map application, jotting down a handwritten note on the map for the date and time of a dinner date and sending it to a friend or family member
• QSlide Function: Multitask by layering up to two windows over the main screen, adjusting for size and transparency – such as using the Richnote feature simultaneously with the calendar or calculator
• EasyHome: Users can easily access their favorite features, such as camera, contacts, dial pad, voicemail, weather and more from the homescreen, perfect for first-time smartphone owners
