Although getting a next-generation Google Pixel may probably seem like an excessive amount of money to you, it cannot be denied that the Californian brand gives it a series of exclusive benefits that the rest of the Android community would like to take advantage of. One of them is its camera App, which has reached its GCam 8.8 version.
GCam 8.8 is the new update of the very popular version 8.7 that was released during 2022 with the premiere of the seventh generation of its Pixel phones. Now, if you have a model that starts from Google Pixel 6 onwards, you can download this App and enjoy new features focused on optimizing night captures or with a lack of natural lighting.
This is everything that comes with GCam 8.8
GCam 8.8 continues to improve results in night captures
There is only one protagonist of this update and it corresponds to the “Night Sight” mode that already existed previously for actions related to taking photos at night. Until now, its operation took up to 6 seconds to capture, at which time it asked you to maintain a stable position of the Pixel to avoid falling into motion blur problems.
Now, when you update to the new GCam 8.8 you will find yourself with the advantage of reducing this period of time in half without sacrificing the focus or lighting of the image obtained. In combination with this, an update has been included in its compatibility with dynamic range technology (HDR +) with higher quality in ISO settings and new noise reduction techniques, and even an option to manually configure the exposure time within this mode. which varies between 2 and 6 seconds.
How can you access GCam 8.8? At the moment, the App is present only for Google Pixel 7, 7 Pro , Pixel 6 and Pro phones . If you want to try it out on another Android phone, community-edited versions of the app that let you try out these night photography features are likely to appear on the web in the coming weeks.
