The Google Camera app, also known as GCam, is part of the core Pixel smartphone experience. Over the years, the internet search giant has introduced useful features to this app with the launch of new Pixel phones. Last year the app got a feature called ‘astrophotography’ with the Pixel 4 series launch. This year, the company extended this feature to the ultra-wide camera found on the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. But now, months after the launch of these phones, the company has removed this ability.
For those who don’t know, ‘astrophotography’ is a long exposure shooting mode in the Google Camera application that allows users to click on images of stars. This feature requires a tripod or any type of support to obtain excellent results.
This feature made its debut in Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. It was even available for other older Pixels. Google even added support for the ultra-wide camera with the launch of the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. Although everyone was excited, the results turned out to be poor.
It is a known fact that ultrawide cameras on smartphones are mostly inferior to the main sensor. Although the last pixel works well enough in daylight, it struggles in low light like on other phones.
Therefore, images taken in astrophotography mode lack quality compared to the main camera. Therefore, Google has disabled this feature for the ultra-wide camera with the release of Google Camera v8.1.
What do you think of Google removing ‘astrophotography’ for the ultra-wide camera in Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G? Let us know in the comment section below.
