Google is now rolling out some camera features for the Google Pixel series of devices that can help make the camera a little better.
The most noticeable update is a new gear camera settings icon beside the arrow at the top of the screen. Beyond that, the camera is also getting a new manual sub-section in the camera’s settings that allows you to disable the exposure slider if you want fewer controls.
There is still no actual ‘Pro’ mode that allows you to control the camera manually, but perhaps this sub-section hints at more to come.
The final update sits in the ‘Advanced’ section of the Camera app’s settings, and it allows you to use the flash as a countdown timer so you can more accurately track when a timed photo is about to go off.
9to5Google says that version 8.4.300.x carries the update, and it’s rolling out to Pixel 5 and Pixel 6 devices. Ideally, Pixel 4a and older Pixels will get the update soon.
