10 things to know about the camera on Pixel 10
The new Pixel 10 lineup makes it easier than ever to capture moments in stunning detail, from beautiful portraits to smooth, stable videos. With the help of AI, you can get upgraded zoom capabilities, helpful photography tips, editing assistance and more. Here are some of the new things you can do with your Pixel phone’s camera.
1. Take even better shots with enhanced camera systems.
From the highest-resolution portrait photos to excellent selfies, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL deliver our best camera system yet. That includes an improved optical image stabilization module with twice the range of compensation. When that’s combined with Video Boost, you’ll also get the best video stabilization on a smartphone. 1
For the first time, Pixel 10 comes with a 5x telephoto lens. It delivers best-in-class 2 zoom quality, fast autofocus, 10x optical quality and Super Res Zoom up to 20x to capture every detail — from faraway subjects to vast landscapes.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold features a new 48MP rear camera sensor to ensure you get a great shot, every time. Plus, its advanced ultrawide and telephoto lenses give you the power of Macro Focus and Super Res Zoom.
2. See more detail and enjoy smoother stabilization.
We constantly refine and improve our award winning HDR+ pipeline to ensure you’re getting the best photos on a smartphone. This year, we’ve further tuned color, focus, detail, noise reduction, zoom and more. We’ve also made extensive quality refinements to unlock more authentic, stunning photos with our best Portrait Mode yet, which features improved segmentation, detail, sharpness and texture. And if you have a Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, you’ll also be able to take 50MP, high-resolution photos.
3. Snap your best pics with the help of Gemini.
Every camera is only as good as the photographer behind it. That’s why with Camera Coach we’ll make you a better photographer.
Using Gemini models, Camera Coach guides you to take better photos by inspiring you with new ideas and helping you explore shots you may not have considered before. Through step-by-step guidance it will suggest tips for lighting, composition and more. And while it guides you, Camera Coach will also teach you about those foundational camera skills to ensure you become the designated photographer.
4. Get up close with Pro Res Zoom.
Pro Res Zoom will get you incredibly close to the action without sacrificing the detail that makes a great photo.
Best used for wildlife, landscapes and landmarks, Pro Res Zoom on Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL extends the zoom range to 100x. Pro Res Zoom was optimized specifically for Tensor G5, which processes images using the first diffusion model we’ve run in Pixel Camera.
5. Capture everyone at their best with Auto Best Take.
Say goodbye to constant retakes with Auto Best Take. Auto Best Take activates when your Pixel 10 senses you’re taking a group photo, so you get the perfect image in just one tap. It analyzes up to 150 frames in just several seconds, looking for when each person looks just right for consistently awesome group pics. And when it can’t find one perfect frame, it automatically blends one using Best Take.
6. Describe the edits you want and Google Photos will do it for you.
We’re making photo editing on your Pixel 10 even easier. In Google Photos, 2 just ask Photos to “remove the reflections on the window” or “remove the glare, brighten the photo and add clouds to the sky” — then watch your edits come to life.
7. Use Guided Frame to take photos confidently and independently.
Guided Frame now uses Gemini models to provide more detailed descriptions about what your camera sees as you take a picture. Audio hints, vibrations, visuals and scene descriptions will help users who are blind or low vision snap great photos with ease.
8. Get more detailed views with the updated panorama mode.
Panorama Mode now supports 5x telephoto panoramas so you can capture even more stunning, detailed shots, with up to 100MP resolution, manual focus, zoom support and image quality improvements.
9. Review your shots without interrupting the moment with Instant View on Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
No more pausing your photo session to click through your library and make sure you got the perfect shot. With Instant View on Pixel 10 Pro Fold, you can view your recently captured photos and videos alongside your viewfinder when your phone is unfolded to easily refine your photography as you go.
10. Understand how your image was created with Content Credentials.
Our latest phones will be the first to have industry-standard C2PA Content Credentials built into the native camera app, across photos it creates. The full process takes place on-device, where we create secure metadata within the image that documents its full journey. This information will be available directly within Google Photos.
