The introduction of a new Panorama mode marks a significant enhancement for the Pixel 8, allowing users to capture stunning landscapes with improved ease. This feature, which has been adapted from the Pixel 9, enables better photographic results by stitching together multiple images as the user moves the camera.
Discovered by 9to5Google, this update also leverages Google’s existing Night Sight capability, designed to enhance low-light photography by minimizing blur and enhancing detail. The result is a more versatile camera experience, pushing the boundaries of what users can achieve with the Pixel 8.
To access the new feature, Pixel 8 owners must update their Pixel Camera app to version 10.2 via the Play Store. Once updated, users can easily navigate to the Panorama setting, where a new user interface will guide them in capturing expansive images. This update promises to keep the Pixel 8 relevant and functional for years to come.
