Google has been working on amotion blur feature for Pixel phoneseven beforePixel 4got launched. According to the report, motion blur may exist as a dedicated mode just like Night Sight, Time Lapse, and more. Presumably, the feature would help casual users take stunning motion blur shots without much camera expertise.
Just like theaudio zoom featureseen onGalaxy Note 10 seriesandGalaxy S20 series, Pixel phones may gain the ability to boost sound recording output based on where the user zooms in. However, the feature doesn’t seem to work just yet, according to popularGcam moddercstark27.
Another neat feature in the works is ‘flash intensity’. As the name suggests, it willadjust the LED flash’s brightness for different photo modes. It remains unknown if the brightness levels will be user-configurable.
