In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

• Access camera modes
• Customize photo & video settings
• Crop a photo
• Use photo effects

Access camera modes

From the Camera app, swipe left or right to access modes such as Night Sight, Portrait, and Video.

Note: Night Sight allows you to take pictures in the dark. Portrait captures a picture with a sharp subject against a blurred background.



Swipe left to Modes to access additional camera modes such as Panorama, Photo Sphere, Action Pan, Long Exposure and Google Lens. Select the desired camera mode.

Note: Panorama allows you to create wider photos by stitching together multiple photos. Photo Sphere allows you to create a 360º photo by stitching together multiple photos. Action Pan allows you to photograph a moving object and simulate a blur effect around it. Google Lens searches what you see and provides relevant online information. Long Exposure allows you to photograph a moving object to create an image where the moving object is blurred and the rest of the image is in focus. Additionally, the Google Pixel 7 Pro offers the Face Unblur feature, which uses multiple cameras and machine learning to automatically detect whether a face being photographed is blurred and will automatically unblur the face.
