![]() ![]() Well, you're back to the normal one, so you need to zoom out again. You zoom out to the wide one, like what you see and switch to video. Okay, let's say you've switched to the front cam, where there are two of them, and the default view is the main normal 75-degree one. So if you're, say, trying to do a shootout between the Pixel 3, an iPhone XS, and a Galaxy Note9, the others will give you a convenient '2x' button, but on the Pixel you'll be fumbling to match their coverage every time. It does sort of work.Īnyway, the slider has arbitrary positions that aren't marked and they don't correspond to any particular magnification. Alternatively, if the phone is on a tripod, it'll wiggle the OIS elements around to get the slightly offset images it needs. It can then crop from the center portion of that to give you the field of view you'd get from a longer lens. The idea behind Super res zoom is that it uses the tiny motions from your hands and by taking several frames and stacking them compiles a higher-resolution image. There's also a button to bring up the Super res zoom slider. Google stubbornly refuses to make a vertical swipe switch from front to rear cam, so there's a button for that. Alternatively, you can tap on the text labels. It launches into a stills viewfinder (that would be Camera mode) and you can flick left and right to change modes - Portrait and Panorama on the left, Video and More on the right. You don't really get to tell what part of this is happening when just by using the camera app as it's pretty straightforward, though it has its weird bits. There's image stacking going on for HDR, the camera is taking shots before you hit the shutter so it has the necessary frames for when you actually do decide to tap, and the portrait mode uses not just depth data from the sensor but also checks against a vast library of images to make an educated guess what's subject and what's background. In one shape or form these are the specs of most flagship phone cameras today.īut then Google has its own thing on the software side and it has machine-learned to somehow make better use of this hardware than others. The numbers make it look familiar - 12.2MP of resolution (and that's just Google being overly precise, since 4,032x3,024 could easily have been rounded off to 12MP), 1/2.55" sensor, 1.4µm pixels, dual pixel autofocus, f/1.8 aperture, OIS. Well, Google reckons it can do just as well with one - for most things, at least. The Pixel 3 only has one rear camera, where other top-tier models are equipped with two or even three.
