5 tricks for the Google camera app: make the most of the appWe will tell you how you can get the most out of the Google camera app when you install it on your mobile phone with the best tricks.
Google camera modifies astrophotography
In version 8.1 of the Google camera application, eliminated the possibility of using the ultra wide angle when using astrophotography. Users can now only use the main camera when they want to use this feature in the app on their Pixel 4 or Pixel 5.
No reasons have been given why this possibility has been eliminated, although everything suggests that it has to do with the quality of photos when using astrophotography with the ultra wide angle of the phone. Users have reported on more than one occasion that these photos are not of quality, while those taken with the main sensor are great.
The use of ultra wide angle in astrophotography allows you to capture a larger field, although light and quality are sacrificed for it. It seems that Google doesn’t want their camera app to go through that, so they remove this option. The photos obtained using the main sensor are of high quality and allow better use of this function in the app.
It is not known if Google has decided to temporarily eliminate this function for the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 and an improved version of it will be launched in a future version of the app. If you have any of these phones and you already use version 8.1 of the app, you will notice that you can no longer use astrophotography with the ultra wide angle.
