Introducing the New Design and Enhanced Features of Pixel Camera v9.2

Google Rolls Out Pixel Camera Update 9.2 to Supported Devices

Google has officially released an update to the Pixel Camera with version 9.2 for supported Pixel devices via the Play Store. This update brings several notable improvements, including exclusive features for the latest Google Pixel 8 and Google Pixel 8 Pro. It comes ahead of the highly anticipated December 2023 Pixel Feature Drop.

Exclusive Feature for Pixel 8 Series: Night Sight in Time Lapse

One of the standout features of this update is the Pixel 8-exclusive Night Sight Time Lapse enhancement. With this update, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro users can now capture longer Night Sight Time Lapse videos. It allows for the recording of five minutes of 1080p video or 20 minutes of 4K video, resulting in a captivating 10-second time-lapse video in Night Sight mode. This unique addition leverages the power of Night Sight to create mesmerizing nighttime visuals.

Enhanced Customization with Palm Timer Feature

Another improvement in this update is the customization boost given to the "Palm Timer" feature. Users now have the flexibility to set it to "Always on" or activate it "Only when the timer is active." This enhancement provides users with greater control and convenience, allowing them to adapt the feature to their individual preferences.

Streamlined User Interface for Improved Accessibility

The update also brings a streamlined user interface, making it easier for users to access key options. Brightness, Shadow, and White balance have been relocated to a compact carousel at the bottom-right corner of the viewfinder. The preferences panel, which includes flash, Top Shot, Timer, Ratio, and more, can now be accessed through a swipe-up action on the viewfinder. These changes consolidate camera controls at the bottom of the screen, improving accessibility for users.

Consistent Experience for Older Pixel Devices

This update extends the new UI changes to users of older Pixel devices still on version 9.0. It ensures a more consistent and improved experience across all Pixel phones, regardless of the device model. Additionally, the Pixel 8 Pro is expected to receive further enhancements, such as Video Boost, in the upcoming feature drop.

How to Access the Update

While the Pixel Camera 9.2 update is gradually rolling out through the Play Store, Pixel users can also choose to sideload the official APK from APKMirror for immediate access to these exciting features.
