Google Pixel 4 & later

#1

Post by 25585 »


Does anyone use a Google Pixel 4, 4XL, 4A, 5 in night photography mode?

I read Google disabled wide angle for night photography.

Being due a phone renewal, I am interested in the Pixel's capability.

I have a 4xl. The night scape mode allows exposures up to about 4 seconds so you can capture things like a photo of a constellation - I have shot Leo and Ursa Major, for example. I have not had much success on shots through the eyepiece, though.

Yes, recently captured a couple of night shots with my Pixel 4a.

I only just discovered it has a hand held mode, for which I found underwhelming, and a long exposure mode, if you can support it on a static object or tripod. The results with this are pretty impressive for a smartphone, but not comparable to a DSLR and fast wide lens.
