Google's latest Pixel Camera update brings user-friendly interface, new features
What's the story
Google has launched the Pixel Camera 9.2 update for all Pixel devices, featuring a revamped user interface and fresh capabilities. The update is accessible via Google Play.
The new interface relocates Brightness, Shadow, and White balance options from the viewfinder's edges to a handy carousel in the bottom-right corner.
Moreover, the preferences panel, which includes flash, Top Shot, Timer, Ratio, and more, has been moved to a bottom sheet that can be accessed by swiping up on the viewfinder.

New features and enhancements in Pixel camera 9.2
The update brings on/off switches for "Ultra HDR" and "Rich color in photos" under Camera settings >Advanced. These options are new for older devices, while Google Pixel 8 owners can now disable Ultra HDR.
Ultra HDR enhances the brightest parts of images and displays more vivid colors than default HDR+ processing.
Rich color in photos utilizes the Display P3 color format instead of sRGB. However, Display P3 might not be visible before taking a photo.
Update
Palm timer update
In the latest update, the Palm timer is set to activate only when using the three or 10-second timer by default. Users can now choose to set it to "Always On."
For Pixel 8 users, a new "Reset All" button has been added to the viewfinder's left side for quick adjustments. This feature was already available on the Google Pixel 8 Pro but is now accessible for Pixel 8 users as well.
