I know I heard that night sight isn't available yet, but where is auto focus tracking, top shot, and live lens? Just got my white 128gb Pixel 3 XL and none of those features are present.

They all work on my phone.
Lens, is in More. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get top shot going, nor auto focus tracking in video...
You do the updates...go to camera app and select more?

auto focus tracking is done by tapping a subject on the screen.
night sight already works, check these forums.
top shot: Open camera app in your Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Now take a picture with your device, Now open the picture you took with your Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Swipe up the screen until you see photo details, Now move finger left or right until you see recommended. You can pick the recommended one as the best picture.
Lens is supposed to work in the regular viewfinder for the camera, not as a separate mode. Top Shot does not work. Super res zoom does not work. Anyone know what's up with these features?

Night sight is in a modded camera apk. I know all about that.
Interestingly enough, auto focus tracking only started working in the stock camera AFTER installing the modded camera apk (CameraP3) .
But still no super res zoom or top shot in stock camera on the Pixel 3 XL.

Top shot works. Make sure motion is on (not auto). Like someone mentioned above, after photo is taken view the photo and swipe up, you'll see a bunch of photos taken with the top shot selected.

top shot is those motion photos it's a circle on top it'll say motion off/motion auto/motion on turn it on and when you view the pic swipe up for the details and that's where you fine the different shots

With motion set to on, it works, but isn't anywhere near as intuitive as other videos I've seen. I have to click on the preview, then swipe up, THEN click on recommended shots, then I'm able to check out the top shots. I thought you just swiped up from the viewfinder and it immediately took you to the top shot of the last photo you took.

Yeah, I've seen several videos where they show just that; they take the picture and it's there, they don't leave the camera for the preview or any of that. Some editing going on there I guess. At any rate I had expected to find it in the camera app. Same with adjusting the bokah on portraits, I expected a slider in the camera screen, not having to switch to the preview and then fiddle it from there. In other words some reviews have led me to believe I could do it both during and after taking the photo. IMO opinion thats most def how it should be. Overall the camera app isn't as easy to figure out as with a sammy where you can figure things out just clicking around. I had to do an internet search to find out how to do the top shot.

yup "motion on" is not the same thing as top shot for me.
So where is top shot at

Except it is. Make sure it is on and not auto, take a picture, click on the picture on the bottom right, then swipe up. You'll see a bunch of pictures from left to right (pretty small), you can either click on one, or slide one way. Trust me, it's there. I used it last night.
From what I see, the best quality overall picture is the one you initially see (the clearest + people smiling). However, I selected some different ones because I liked the way my kids looked better in some other shots. Overall, I really dig.
Yeah, we understand it's there, the comment refers to the idea that if you have to resort to an internet search to figure out how to turn on a headline feature in a camera app the camera app GUI needs improvement. Why would I expect I need to turn on a seemingly unrelated setting called "motion on" to turn on top shot which itself has no switch enabling it anywhere in the settings? Not exactly intuitive.

Ah, true. I didn't know until this thread myself. They need to add a button that says top shot I think.

I was testing out the FFC on my Telus Galaxy S II and when I take a picture with it, I see the animation and the picture go to the bottom left corner, and then the little preview of the picture becomes flipped. When I tap on the picture to view in the Gallery, the picture itself is mirrored.
Is anybody noticing this? Is there a setting to flip it back?
Thanks!
Lol. I noticed this also. It actually "corrects" the pick. I took a pic and the saved preview pick flipped. But I noticed I had writing in the background. It is fine in the flipped pic but in the main display it's backwards this the flip.

Not exactly sure how to fix this, if it's even possible to fix it. Haha.
I've noticed that every pic I take while holding the phone in portrait mode is sideways. I think Samsung intended for people to hold the phone sideways to take pics, which I find dumb.
That's really odd.. I wonder if there is some sort of photo software for the phone that can be used to flip them back?
You can rotate photos with the built in gallery app, if that's what you mean...

I know you can rotate them in the stock Gallery app, but I wonder if you can flip them on a horizontal axis, if you know what I mean. That way, an "inverted" photo could be flipped right side up.
It works ok, when it flips it corrects it, when using the front camera its like looking in the mirror, like your right hand looks like its ur left hand, but once you take the pic it flips it and fixes it

The camera on this mobile is awesome! But at the same time, it makes things so sharp that even a small pimple will be very clearly seen.
Is there a app which can imitate the Beauty mode of Samsung Phones, and at the same time keep the Pixel's amazing camera algorithm working?

I just post edit with Facetune. Keeps it realistic looking and can edit little spots as needed.

Portrait mode has face smoothing option, you have to press the round face icon at the top, this will automatically apply them filter. However, you can't adjust it.
Snapseed is an amazing photo editor from Google and it's free. It has more advanced face editing features, including face smoothing.

That option is extremely light and almost barely noticeable. I use that plus still touch-up.
@sacthegreat Oh and another plus for Facetune is it can get closer than any other editing app I've seen, like pixel level zoom. Keeps the edits precise and minimal.
I remember getting the app on sale or with Google Play Store credit. It's worth it.

Does anyone else experience this? When I go from portrait to landscape, this white bar appears on the bottom of the screen. It goes away when I tap the screen. I have searched and searched but no answer. I've factory reset, done everything it still shows up. Even across roms. It happens on oos as well as every other room I've tried. Please help!
Yup, experiencing the same, no solution so far.
Also another one: app refuses to go into landscape mode after a first launch when video is loaded (it does on main screen etc). I have to press the full-screen button to go into landscape and then it works normally with gyro sensor.

Just do a pinch to zoom gesture and the bars are disappearing.
Is has to do with the screen ratio.
I have this bug / feature only when the video quality is not HD.
I thought that the video is getting smaller because it looks sharper then on 480p
BTW: what phone are you using? It doesnt look like an oneplus 3.
Then why are you posting this glitch on this area of the forum?

It is a screenshot from the YouTube app. He's watching a video about the Pixel, on the OP3 and as you can see, the white bar is on the screen.

Hi
I have had phones with which I can shout photos by just tapping on the screen.
But this camera seems too limited, although photos are great.
I am afraid that if I use any other camera the postprocessing won't be so good and photos will be worse.
Any help to shoot easier with this, my new phone?
I'm confused. What do you mean by "just tapping on the screen"? The camera app has a big button on screen to trigger the shutter. Tapping anyplace else shifts the center of focus.

It's compatible. For example:
Motorola: dragging the "circle" it focuses. Touching the screen, out of the circle, it shots.
Xiaomi: touching the screen, it focuses. Then, once focused, in the middle of the circle appears a camera which if it's touched, it shots.
Don't get me wrong, the phone itself is amazing.
There are just more software issues which are on Samsung.
The always on charging status which will burn the screen
The always on fingerprint while AOD is on which will also burn the screen
Lack of camera resolution settings (actual size of pictures on 4:3 are around 2MB?!?) and pictures are not good as on Note9 or S10
And the feature that I'm missing really much is swipe on fingerprint sensor to drop notification menu down, but on the other hand, face recognition works so damn fast that I don't even need fingerprint.
And speakers could be better, they are dull, without much base.
Hmmm,
I wonder about that possiblity of burning the screen
Yes speakers could be better
But what do you mean no camera resolution settings? I don't even see 4:3 in the options
I wonder if the AOD stuff moves slightly every so often to prevent burn in.
UPDATE: Fingerprint AOD moves slightly every several seconds. I haven't tested the battery charging one since I'm testing my battery usage and SOT so I don't want to mess with my charge cycle right now.

There is aspect ratio on the top when you are in the camera (4:3, 16:9, full and 1:1) but you can't change the resolution (MPxs) in the settings, so I'm just getting low quality 2MB pictures.
The possibility for burn ins is great, trust me.

I wasn't looking that much because I disabled it as soon as I saw fingerprint sensor enlighten.
The clock should move a couple of pixels each minute, but I can't confirm that. Sensor will stay there forever.
EDIT: you are actually correct, that **** is moving.
Ok, so now, just that annoying charging notification stays forever in the same place.

The fingerprint AOD moves every few seconds. I updated my post.

Resolution settings are in camera settings. You are not stuck with 2MP pictures.
You're worried about the fingerprint symbol burning in, but not the clock on AOD? Just set AOD to "tap to wake."
My speakers are super loud and clear. But at the end of the day, they are cell phone speakers. You can adjust sound quality by turning on Dolby Atmos and/or changing the equalizer.
As far as swiping the fingerprint reader to pull down the notification shade, why not just set home screen setting to pull it down on a swipe down?

I was wrong about one thing, you can NOT change MPs in settings. But it takes pics in 12 MPs on the rear camera, except the ultra wide angle, which is a 16 MP lense. The FFC is a 10 MP camera. Are you sure you're not talking about 2 MB? As in megabytes, the file size?
And again, if you're not worried about the clock on AOD causing burn in, then the FO scanner won't either. Now the charging status I agree with.

I see what you're saying. But for me I need it there. I kept missing it till I turned on AOD which helped a lot. Also I am glad this fingerprint is so much better than the S10 plus. I hated it on the S10

It seems that I do not have resolution settings. I shooted for over one hundred of pictures and not a single one was over 2.5MB, with compression disabled.
About AOD, we figured that both clock and sensor light are moving so that's fine.
About swiping down, that works on home screen only, not in apps or wherever you are.

2.5MB is about right for a 12MP JPEG file. That's the size they are on all my other phones. I have to take pics for work, then compress them down under 2MB to email them. Sometimes I don't even have to compress them, because at full quality they are already under 2.5MB.
And I understand your point on the swipe down. I never thought of that.

That's strange because on the Note 9, pictures were around 4MBs, never under 3.5MB with 4:3 and 12mpx.
My coworker still has Note 9 and we were comparing them, and pictures are bigger on his phone.
There is still hope for both FP sensor light and charging status once they update GoodLock I believe.

I stand corrected. When I check details in the Gallery, my 12.2 MP pics are between 3.5MB and 4.5MB.
That is weird then.
This may sound dumb, but the biggest gripe I have with this phone is the power button being on the left. I'm so used to it being on the right and touching there and nothing happens!
I also wish the power button was on the right side. I loved the phone once I turned on High Performance mode and changed the screen mode to Vivid. In camera settings, I also had to change the rear and front video size to UHD.
What I hate the most about this phone right now is how high the interference is on my daily routine since Wednesday. First night I got it I skipped the gym. Then boyfriend duties are getting neglected. Boss at work is asking why I'm not getting as much done. Smh
