Google’s impressive ‘Night Sight’ camera feature rolls out today – here’s how it works
This photo was taken in a room with very little light.
The camera app will even suggest when to use Night Sight when the surrounding lighting is too dim for a good photo.
You just need one or two extra taps to use Night Sight.

It’s not as seamless as pulling out a phone and taking a snap, but it’s very close, and better than adjusting the camera settings.
And depending on how much light there is around you, you and your subjects will have to stay still for a few seconds to let the Pixel’s camera capture enough light.

After you press the shutter button, a progress wheel will show up prompting you and your subjects to “Hold still” while the phone does its thing.
In better-lit situations, the “Hold still” time was much shorter than in very dark situations.
Google also has a few tips for prospective Night Sight users.
- If you’re taking a photo of someone, ask them to hold still for a few seconds before and after you press the shutter button.
- Hold the phone steady. If you can, try propping it against a stable surface.
- Make sure the camera lens is clean. It can accumulate oil from fingerprints, creating blurry and soft photos.
- Try tapping on or around your subject to help your camera focus when taking photos in very dark conditions.
- Avoid pointing your camera at bright light sources, which may cause unwanted reflections in your photo.
- Cameras don’t work in complete darkness, so you’ll still need some light to capture a photo.
I’ve only used the tester’s version of Night Sight, and I’d rather show you the results of the final full release version that everyone has access to.
