From the first spring buds to your child’s school play debut, there are certain golden moments you want to cherish. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro cameras can help you capture high-quality shots you can be proud of. But taking photos to preserve memories isn’t anything new. What makes Pixel phones special is that you can take better pictures more easily. They have the basics, like high resolution and enhanced video quality. But they also have much more – like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and a lens with a wider field of view¹– to help you get those beautiful shots. Plus, Pixel 7 Pro is the first Pixel to have 5x optical zoom, which helps you capture the smallest details. And, with a laser detect auto-focus sensor, you can snap motion shots clearly.

Here are a few features that make Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro the best Pixel Camera yet.²

You’ve likely experienced the frustration of missing a candid shot, like the perfect snap of your friend’s smile. And when you retake it, you discover it’s not so candid anymore. With Pixel 7, you can document these precious moments authentically – the first time – thanks to Google’s most advanced camera features yet. Pixel cameras use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to generate better pictures both during and after the snap. So you can take the shot without spoiling the moment. Pixel also has three high-resolution cameras: a 12MP ultra-wide lens, 50MP main camera, and for selfies, a 10.8MP front lens. Pixel 7 Pro also has a 48MP telephoto camera to help you zoom in even closer. 

Magic Eraser³ makes photobombers a thing of the past. It’s an editing tool that uses machine learning to remove objects in the background of your photos. Magic Eraser can feel like wizardry as it automatically detects and suggests items for you to erase in the Google Photos app. This also takes the pressure off when shooting – no more waiting for the perfect quiet moment to take your pictures. 

There are times when the smallest things can bring the most joy. At a family party, the icing smudged across a baby’s face or your grandparent’s laughter lines are what’s worth capturing. Super Res Zoom lets you capture these important moments, even if you’re on the other side of the room⁴. And, combined with Macro Focus mode (exclusive to Pixel 7 Pro), you can get up close to focus on these small things, without getting the icing on your face too. 

Super Res Zoom is also ideal for capturing big moments from afar, like getting a clear shot of your favourite artist on stage or a famous player on the pitch.

Picture this: someone shakes the biscuit tin while you’re trying to get a cute picture of your pet, and they move their head. Suddenly that adorable image is all fuzzy. This is where Photo Unblur can help.⁵ With just a few taps and a little assistance from machine learning, you can unblur your furry friend’s face straight from the Google Photos app. Photo Unblur automatically identifies and removes softening or visual noise from your images. You can even use Photo Unblur to sharpen images captured on other devices and old photos, like that blurry childhood holiday snap.

There are also times when you want all eyes on the main event, not your phone screen. You’re enjoying an exhilarating experience – like hiking past a huge waterfall or watching your child score a goal – and want to record the moment. Yet, when you check the photo, it hasn’t done it justice. With Motion Mode, you can take that action shot, and Pixel 7’s AI software will represent the energy you felt. This tool sharpens the moving ball, child, or waterfall and blurs the backdrop for dramatic effect. 

Want a little extra vigour? Consider filming these moments using Cinematic Blur. This keeps the subject of your videos in focus whilst softening the surroundings.

Whether it’s that annual bonfire night snap, or a selfie at the cinema – before the film starts, of course – so often, the picture doesn’t turn out clearly. But regardless of darkness, Night Sight can help you get the perfect shot. Night Sight uses machine learning to understand what things are supposed to look like when well-lit. It then takes this information to form an accurate image. Your camera will also know when it’s nighttime and suggest you turn on this feature to get the best quality photos. 

It happens all the time – you take a shot with family or friends, and in the photo, their skin comes out darker, brighter, or more washed out than in real life. Now, thanks to Real Tone, which combines several tools to reflect a full range of skin tones, you can snap a group of people with Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro and trust that the lighting will flatter everyone. The intelligent exposure tool balances light levels to capture a more authentic image. It can also detect a broader spectrum of faces in various light conditions. Because everyone deserves to be seen for who they are.
