Unlocking Your Pixel Phone's Hidden Photo Power

Sat Jun 28 2025
Pixel phones have always been known for their impressive cameras, but not everyone knows how to use them to their full potential. Google has introduced a new feature called "Camera Education" to help users learn more about their Pixel camera's capabilities. This feature is part of the 2025 Pixel Feature Drop, but it wasn't ready when the update was first released. Now, it's starting to roll out to users. The goal is to teach people how to take better photos and videos with their Pixel phones. To access the guide, users need to tap the new "? " button in the top right corner of the camera app. From there, they can see a list of all the different camera modes, like panorama, astro, night sight, and macro focus. Each mode has a section with real-life photos taken by other Pixel users and a how-to guide that walks users through how to use that mode. The guide also includes step-by-step instructions for using certain modes, like "Add Me, " and helpful tips for others. Users can even find tips on using Pro Mode, which allows them to fine-tune settings like ISO and shutter speed. Over the years, Pixel phones have had some of the best cameras on the market. This new feature is a great way for Google to ensure that users are aware of all the power they have in their hands. Even experienced photographers might find the explainer useful. If you don't have the feature yet, don't worry. It should be rolling out to more users soon.
