Google is rolling out a new version of the Pixel Camera app<\/a> that lets users manually enable Astrophotography. Previously, Pixel Camera automatically switched to Astrophotography only when the Google Tensor processor (in Pixel phones<\/a>) sensed a stationary camera and a dark area\/setting free of city lights or light pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest Pixel Camera update (v9.5.118) introduces the option to manually activate Astrophotography mode. This update eliminates the need to prop your Pixel phone on a steady surface like a tripod to take Astrophotos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching to Night Sight mode in the latest Pixel Camera app displays a pop-up introducing manual Astrophotography. Setting the duration slider from \u201cAuto\u201d to \u201cAstro\u201d activates manual Astrophotography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pixel users can change settings like shutter timer and exposure timeframe in manual Astro mode. The default 5-second shutter timer can be adjusted to three or ten seconds, while the exposure timeframe can reach four minutes. Choosing a longer timeframe lets the Pixel Camera take high-quality Astrophotographs by capturing multiple pictures and merging them into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google hasn\u2019t officially released the Pixel Camera version with manual Astrophotography mode to the Play Store. However, the setup file is already available on third-party APK websites<\/a> like APKMirror. Interested individuals with compatible Pixel phones can sideload the app<\/a> on their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pixel Camera currently supports only Pixel phones<\/a> running Android 14 (or above). Ensure your Pixel phone is up-to-date before sideloading the Pixel Camera v9.5.118.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
