Guy, I just noticed this on my MotoG:
1. lock phone with pattern protection.
2. press the power button to unlock
3. the pattern screen shows, don't unlock but just swipe towards left
4. the swipe works and camera switches on!!
5. I can take any number of pictures with all options turned on (recording, switch camera)
6. when I unlock my phone, the images taken are present in the gallery
I thought this is wierd as its pretty strighforward that I should not be allowed to do anything on my phone when its locked(except of course unlock and power off)
I am new to Android and don't know if this is expected behaviour or not. Any idea, anyone, on how to fix this?
It is Normal.. Many Android phone has this feature.
( have this on my Xperia L [4.2 JB] )Incase you want to disable the camera from lockscreen, Try this : Open Camera App>Settings>Quick launch>Off

Well I think it's a really handy feature. Well many of 'not so close to you' guys take your mobile and want to take some pictures. So you can give your camera to them without unlocking the phone. And the best part is when they swipe left to your gallery in locked mode, they can only see the images they've just taken, and not the ones that are stored before. So good for privacy.
I'd love this feature on my ICS(though I can get it with 3rd party apps, they are RAM hungry).
This comes in real handy when you have a scene in front of you that you want to capture quickly. If you take time in unlocking - locating camera icon - waiting for camera app to open - then click the picture, beauty of the moment may be gone.
Especially important when you have kids (although I don't) and want to capture their every emotion.

:S There's no option for quick launch in the settings when you launch camera ?? :O Maybe It could be under a different name..did you check the options ?

I am currently using a Moto G which I received a week back. And am now stuck in this battery level problem. Discussion in XDA here: Battery from 74% to 0% in 1 second - Page 26 - xda-developers
Is anyone else here having the same? I've reached out to Motorola and I'm yet to get a reply from them.

Go to settings, under personalization open lock screen. Under widgets untick camera widget.
Well, yes I did watch the videos, and have ordered it now from GS website. Did you get the back protection as well? how effective is it? I hope I wont need a back case if I have the GS back protection.

Yeah, seems a messed up thing. Wonder what will happen if someone ordered during the 'in stock' time period.
Don't buy gadgetshieldz , it feels rubbery.. It just spoils the feel of our awesome screen...and it becomes worse with sweaty fngers..

Agreed!!! I am using it and playing soccer is so difficult with the gadgetshieldz. But what to do, all the screen protectors I've ever used were rubbery, except the, matte ones, but they shadow the best thing of moto G, its display.
Do you know any, with less friction?
I think next time I have to use the cheaper ones ..search on eBay ..that would be more pocket friendly too..gs is very costly compared to its quality ...
