Top 9 Features in Pixel 9 Camera
In the ever-evolving world of smartphone photography, Google has once again raised the bar with the Pixel 9 series. From enhanced selfie capabilities to AI-driven editing tools, the Pixel 9 cameras are set to redefine how we capture and share our world. Here are the nine must-know features that make the Pixel 9 series a game-changer.
1. Take Stunning Photos and Videos with Upgraded Lenses
The Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL come equipped with a pro triple rear camera system that promises the best photos and videos ever captured on a Pixel device. The star of the show is the new 48MP 5x telephoto lens, which features an upgraded sensor that enhances autofocus. This improvement ensures sharper images even in low-light conditions, making it easier than ever to capture high-quality shots in any environment.
The new 42 MP front camera also stands out, delivering sharper and brighter photos, especially in low-light scenarios. The wider field of view ensures that you can capture the perfect group selfie without missing anyone.
Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold introduces an ultra-thin advanced triple rear camera system. The ultrawide camera now supports Macro Focus for both photos and videos, enabling stunning close-up shots with incredible detail. The upgraded selfie cameras, identical whether folded or unfolded, allow you to take great selfies and record 4K video at 60 frames per second on whichever screen is most convenient.
The Pixel 9 shares the same impressive main and ultrawide cameras as its Pro counterparts. The ultrawide lens gathers 110% more light and focuses as close as two centimeters, allowing for crystal-clear, low-light images and breathtaking Macro Focus shots.
2. Reflect What You See with a New HDR+ Imaging Pipeline
Pixel 9’s imaging pipeline has been thoroughly updated to deliver even better, more true-to-life photos. These updates optimize exposure, tone mapping, sharpening, contrast, and more, ensuring that textures, shadows, and skin tones are captured with precision in everyday scenes. The new HDR+ pipeline ensures that what you see is truly what you get in your photos.
3. Capture High-Quality Videos with Super Res Zoom Video
For those who love recording videos, the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL offer the ability to use up to 20x Super Res Zoom in Night Sight Video or Video Boost. This feature combines details from the upgraded telephoto camera with advanced machine learning to add rich details, no matter the lighting condition. Whether you’re in the back row at a concert or capturing a cityscape at night, you can now record videos that make you feel like you’re right in the action.
Video Boost on the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL uses AI upscaling to deliver videos in 8K resolution. With this high level of resolution, you can extract high-quality still images, up to 33MP, from the video or zoom in up to 2x in post-production while retaining 4K resolution. This gives you even more flexibility when editing videos, and it’s fully compatible with Night Sight and Super Res Zoom Video.
4. Be in the Picture with Add Me
The Add Me feature ensures that no one is left out of the picture — not even the photographer. First, take a photo of the group, then trade places with someone and take a second photo with you in it. Pixel’s augmented reality guides the second photographer to frame the photo to match the composition of the first one, and then the Pixel seamlessly merges both images into a single photo. Now, everyone can be in the shot, no matter who’s behind the camera.
5. Make Edits Easier with Reimagine in Magic Editor
Reimagine in Magic Editor takes photo editing to the next level. With this feature, you can simply describe what you want in a text box, and watch as your ideas come to life. Whether it’s changing the appearance of grass, skies, trees, or indoor decor, Reimagine lets you get creative and transform your photos with ease.
6. Fix Composition with Auto Frame in Magic Editor
The Auto Frame feature in Magic Editor is a new AI-driven tool that generates options to better frame a photo you’ve already captured. It can even suggest a wider view of your image, using generative AI to fill in the blanks around the subject. Trained on photographic techniques that emphasize the subject of your photo, Auto Frame ensures that your photos are always perfectly composed, even after the fact.
7. Remember Epic Landscapes with Night Sight in Panorama
Panorama mode on the Pixel 9 now delivers even higher-quality images, thanks to an updated, easy-to-follow UI. Pixel was the first phone to introduce Night Sight for photos and videos, and now it’s the first to use it for brilliant low-light panoramas of landscapes and cityscapes. Whether you’re capturing a mountain range at dusk or a city skyline at night, Panorama mode with Night Sight ensures that every detail is beautifully preserved.
8. Zoom In Even More with Zoom Enhance
Zoom Enhance is a new feature that intelligently fills in the gaps between pixels and predicts fine details for high-quality, post-capture zoom results. This feature will be available on the Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and is rolling out to Pixel 8 Pro starting today. With Zoom Enhance, you can zoom in on your photos even after you’ve taken them, ensuring that every detail is captured with clarity.
9. Get Kids to Smile with Made You Look
Capturing the perfect photo of kids can be a challenge, but Made You Look on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold makes it easier. This feature helps you capture kids’ attention and gets them to smile for the camera. When you turn it on, an eye-catching visual — like a bright yellow chicken — will play on the outer screen, holding their attention just long enough for you to get the shot. With Made You Look, you’ll never miss a moment.
Final Thoughts
The Pixel 9 series represents a significant leap forward in smartphone photography. With its upgraded lenses, advanced AI features, and user-friendly tools, it’s easier than ever to capture stunning photos and videos. Whether you’re a professional photographer or just someone who loves to snap pictures on the go, the Pixel 9 cameras offer something for everyone. As you explore these nine new features, you’ll discover that the Pixel 9 is not just a phone — it’s a powerful photography tool that puts creativity at your fingertips.
