    Any reason not to use HDR

    In my personal opinion, and what I also think should be true for most.. The only time it should not be used is when you're using a 3rd party camera app, which would not take advantage of Googles HDR+ to begin with. You might use a 3rd party app if you were looking to have more control over your...

    I'm not a big American Muscle guy when it comes to modern cars, but I do love the SS, very practical, loads of fun.

    Pixel/Pixel XL --- Show us your photos!

    Pixel/Pixel XL --- Show us your photos!

    This first picture is an example about how great the Pixel camera is. I was talking with my mother in law when I look over and see my kiddo playing in the grass, the way the light was hitting it, the contrast and the color was all like something out of movie. Within a few seconds my phone was...

    I'm really confused about this camera...

    Both photos were HDR+ Auto However the "brighter" one I told to focus on the black, so the camera is going to copensate to get the best exposure for the area that was selected and then stiches the photos to try and even out the exposure across the entire image. its working as expected IMO

    Daydream a bit of a disappointment

    So I got a Daydream VR headset today and unfortunately I'm fairly disappointed. First off, if you have a 5 inch pixel, i would not expect a great experience. The screen door effect is pretty bad, but I expected it. Secondly, there is not much support in terms of apps, and downloading...

    Its an issue with the white balance, depnding on the type of lights you have in your house, it can make it worse.. I will admit, the pixel is pretty bad with white balance in this particular situation, but its easily fixed in a quick post edit.

    I'm really confused about this camera...

    Sometimes its the simplest answers we overlook. Anytime I think the picture looks bad, I ALWAYS wipe the glass just to be sure, then I try again, if it still looks like crap its usually a case of shakey hands. While it may have a fast shutter, slight movement in a dark shot can certainly cut...

    That was my thoughts too, but so far brave is just as if not faster.

    Your Favorite Browser...

    I will admit, after this post I said screw it and decided to try "Brave" Ive been using it for a few days now as my primary, and i like it because its nearly identical to chrome and seems just as if not faster... Would recommend it to others in a heart beat.

    I'm really confused about this camera...

    I recall mine having a film there. Maybe im crazy and it did not. Either way that totally looks like something interefering with the lens. The light flare and the lack of contrast looks liek a dirty lens/something over the lens.

    I'm really confused about this camera...

    No problem, its unfortunate it seems the forums compress tehm quite a bit. Theres some pixelation that the originals don't show. As far as the subwoofer goes, my dog doesn't seem to mind it. Little jerk will lay right in front of it for a whole movie and stare at it. Things a beast though...

    Do you still have the clear protective film on the back glass, because that will 100% cause what you're seeing.

    Should HDR+ auto be used most if the time?

    Yes. It's extremely fast. I've shot a 70 photo burst in HDR+ auto ans they were all processed within 30 seconds. The camera shutter is instant. It's usually processed by the time you go to look at it. Never seems to slow down either.
