The Google Pixels stand out for their great camera and excellent features, however, there is something that is tarnishing their user experience. This is a major camera glitch that can make you angry if you run into it. It doesn’t happen in all cases, but there is one particular situation where it does happen and it’s quite annoying.
There are many users with this mobile model who have complained about problems with photos on the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro . It affects only these two mobile models, that we know of so far, and in all the mentioned cases they had version 8.7.250.494820638.44 of Google Camera. What is the problem and why is it so serious?
The Google Pixel 7 does not save some photos
This is a serious bug that causes these Google Pixels to not save photos under certain conditions. Recently, a strange bug was reported that causes these phones to not want to save close-up zoom shots.
In fact, everything has arisen from the case of a user who has claimed that he could not save close-up photos of parts of his computer taken with the 5x periscope lens with the flash on. Although you can take photos from the zoom camera without problems, it fails to do this simple saving function. You can take the shots, but they are not saved.
Another user has also tried to take close up pictures of his pants with 5x zoom and the flash on , but these photos were not saved either. There are many people who have tried it without success, as you can see in this YouTube video and in the comments from owners of these Google phone models.
The problem appears to occur when trying to take a close-up photo in low light conditions with the flash enabled and zoomed between 2 and 5x . Several people have tried to find the source of the problem and have come to the conclusion that it is an HDR glitch . The error is due more to the Google Camera app and its image processing algorithm than the device being used.
There are those who delve deeper into the subject assuring that:
The only thing I can think of is that the HDR pipeline algorithm is failing on the level of color saturation or image binning
Even this user disputes this:
If you turn off the HDR , does it make the photo successfully?
Hoping Google fixes it soon
It is a very recent error and for now it has not been fixed by Google, which has not yet ruled on it. Let’s hope they do it soon and fix it as soon as possible. Right now it is tarnishing the photographic experience of many of those who have trusted the new flagships of Google.
The only thing you can do to temporarily fix it until a definitive solution is to turn off the flash and hope that the photo will turn out well even in low light. Or not opt for the benefits of zoom in these conditions. Have you checked if the same thing happens to you?
