Let's talk about the best smartphone camera I've ever used. Wait... It's not an iPhone or a Galaxy? It sure isn't!
Depending on the scene, you’ll want to take into account your surroundings, including the foreground, background, shapes, sizes, lighting, angle, etc. In other words, framing a subject and taking a “pro-grade” picture with a wide-angle camera is tricky.. Obviously, in order to get any background blur, you’ll have to get close to your subject, but the nature of a wide-angle shooter is to start distorting when you get too close...
Seriously, you’d never guess some of the 4x photos taken with a Pixel 6 Pro came from a phone’s camera. This truly special shooter helps when taking portraits of people and everyday objects. “Portrait Mode” on Pixel 6 and 6 Pro yields oversharpened and over processed photos, specifically on the 2x zoom setting , while 1x photos simply don’t offer. So, instead of wasting your time with Portrait Mode, switch to the 4x zoom lens, and get just far enough from your subject so the camera is still able to retain focus.
The other big advantage here is that the processing will be working on a photo with already existing natural background blur, so adding computational blur around the already defined edges of your subject won't result in a fake-looking portrait photo.If this seems like too much work, be sure that once you try it out, it’ll quickly start to feel like second nature. You just hit the 4x zoom button, get your subject in focus, and snap away.
Action Pan helps you freeze a moving subject, while the background is allowed to remain nicely blurred, creating the impression of a rapidly moving car, train or roller skater, even if they areIt works with all three cameras too, making for some absolutely unbelievable perspectives, which you won’t be able to get anywhere else.
All of this, combined with the vastly improved video taking capabilities of the Pixel 6 Pro, excellent low-light performance, and consistent results, makes Pixel 6 Pro the best, and easiest to use smartphone camera for me.All that being said, the Pixel 6 Pro's camera system isFor starters, remember the portrait photos I praised? Theyamazing, but taking them shouldn't feel like a workaround.
