Incredible videos on every take

Ratings and reviews

Definitely not the worst by far, but definitely not the best either. I swear, my pixel6 pro had some more features that were useful and unique. I'm not positive but I think my pixel6 pro had the option to capture a photo using voice commands, saying a word like capture, or cheese, or smile. I know for a fact my Galaxy Note20 had that feature & it was very useful. I never had to worry about bumping the phone and causing the photo to blur because I pushed the capture button.

Not enough manual settings e.g. ISO, shutter speed, appature, manual focus, etc, and those controls available are buried in too many layers of menus. Need to make settings more easily accessible directly from the main screen. Need option to automatically adjust white balance by touching the area preview screen. No way to disable the automated photo retouching. Generally unhappy with this app.

Used the camera to film a long video. It was suppose to capture, to preserve one of the sweetest moment happening in my life. Except the video never got saved. I cannot express my disappointment as I look everywhere tried every means, only to be forced to accept that the moment is lost and there's no way to retrieve it. Thank you very much pixel camera.
