Google’s ‘Night Sight’ mode is out for Pixel generation: Here’s how it works

202

During Pixel 3 launch event in NYC, Google launched its ‘Night Sight’ feature, which promised to improve low light performance. The ‘Night Sight’ Camera is officially launched in Google’s all smartphones such as Pixel 1, Pixel 2 and Pixel 3.

Launching Pixel 3, Google showed two pictures side-by-side, one is captured by the iPhone XS and other one is taken with Pixel 3’s Night Sight mode. The difference between the two photos can easily be seen.

The one with the iPhone XS was dark and not visible, a typical smartphone camera shot in low-light, while the Pixel 3 had managed to convert the click into a bright, well-lit one with the subjects clearly visible.

Google in its blog says that Night Sight Camera works best on the latest Google phone Pixel 3. On the original Pixel, Google’s Night Sight will rely on shorter exposures compared to the other two, because the first phone did not come with optical image stabilization (OIS).

Pixel users may not be able to enjoy the latest update immediately in their phones as Google said, “it’s rolling out over the next few days and yes will be available for all three generations of Pixel.”

The Google Camera app will get an official update on the Play Store soon, which will include the new Night Sight mode.

What is Google Camera and its Night Sight mode, how does it work?

The Google has launched ‘Night Sight‘ mode in both the front and rear camera for its all Pixel smartphones. You would not need additional flash or tripod while clicking pictures in dark or poor lighting conditions.

Pixel’s Night Sight mode makes sure you do not need any extra hardware help to capture a great low-light shot. It totally relies on software to improve your photos.

According to reports, in Google Night Sight, the Pixel camera can capture 15 frames of 1/15 second. Night Sight captures an equal amount of light over a burst of many photos that are dark but visible. This is also why the user needs to be very still when shooting in Night Sight because it takes two or three seconds for the camera to take the number of shots needed for the perfect image.

The camera software then merges this burst and also tries to prevent motion blur to give a bright, sharp image as the final result. Still, Night Sight works best when you are completely still or prop the camera against something to keep it very still.

According to Google, “When a user shoots in Night Sight, the Pixel does try to eliminate for noise, movement. The camera measures a user’s natural handshake, as well as how much motion is in the scene. It is relying more on software to compensate for the movement that is often a part of smartphone pictures.”

“If Pixel is stable and the scene is still, Night Sight will spend more time capturing light to minimise noise; if Pixel is moving or there’s significant scene motion, Night Sight will use shorter exposures, capturing less light to minimize motion blur,” according to Google’s blog.

Google is using machine learning to help balance the colour of shots taken in Night Sight in order to make sure the object appear natural.

Further, in this mode, Google brightens the viewfinder to help users frame shots in low light. Keep in mind that viewfinder might show that the shot is noisy, but this is not the correct indication of the final photograph. The final pictures merge a number of shots taken together. If you are still confused, how to use Night Sight mode on Google smartphone, read the method below.

How to use Night Sight on Google Smartphones?

Google’s Pixel will suggest using Night Sight if you are clicking a photo in poor light or in Dark. The Night Sight mode is part of the more options on the Google Camera app.

Don’t forget to update your app to get the latest version to use the Google Night Sight mode.

What you need to do is to press the shutter button once you are in Night Sight feature and try to remain still until Night Sight finishes capturing the photo. Remember, since the picture is taken in low-light with a longer exposure time, this mode may take a few extra seconds.

Please keep in mind that Google’s Night Sight mode does not work in complete darkness, so the scene needs some light falling on it at the very least.
