Hi, I was trying to take a picture inside a church using the fisheye panorama mode. I wanted the center of the photo to be the ceiling, but with my Google pixel xl the center of the fisheye photo must be in the horizon line. Is it possible to change that? If so, how do I take a fisheye photo with its center being the ceiling?

there is no "center" of a photo-sphere photo. it is the surface of a sphere... are you referring to the center of the thumbnail?

In my phone there is no option of a sphere. The only option is half of a sphere (180 degrees). And the center must be in the horizon line. I couldn't find a way to start taking this panorama pointing the camera up, or down...

Anybody knows how to do it?

The photo sphere is under a different option than panorama in the camera app. Try using that to take the photo. Once you get a great photo sphere they are awesome! That said I don't think the camera let's you start the fish eye panorama anywhere you want

it's weird that you can find panorama but can't find photo sphere. they are under the same menu...

Found this option. Nice feature. Not exactly what I wanted, but enough to register in one photo the ceiling of a place.
