Know you got the shot with Live HDR+ 

See a real-time preview of HDR+ applied to your photo before you take the shot.

Difficult shots made easy

Pixel 4a’s powerful camera controls let you adjust the brightness and shadows of different elements in your shot separately. 

A camera that does the work for you

Take great photos whether you’re under the stars or in the sun. For difficult lighting, you can adjust the brightness and shadows separately with dual exposure controls. And Live HDR+ generates a preview of what your final image will look like before you take it.

Top-notch photos. Taken up a notch

HDR+ takes a burst of shots every time that you take a photo. Then it combines the different shots into one. The final photo has reduced noise, richer color, and improved exposure.

Focus on your favorites with Portrait Mode

Capture beautiful portraits that focus on your subject as the background fades into an artful blur, giving your photos and selfies a DSLR-quality look.

Make all your portraits pro

Pixel 4a helps you to focus on your subjects by adding an artful blur to the background of your portraits. Apply this effect to your photos by using Portrait Mode in the camera app. If you have a photo that was not shot on a Pixel phone, you can still add the effect to suggested portraits using Portrait Blur in Google Photos.

Get the shot without the flash

Night Sight lets you capture rich detail and color, even in the dark. Access it in the Pixel camera app by swiping right on the viewfinder.

Capture the cosmos

Night Sight on Pixel 4a can even take photos of the Milky Way. All it takes is one tap in Night Sight mode, and you’ll have the stars in your hand.

Better shots with friends and family

Frequent Faces learns the people that you photograph most often and selects Top shot photos where they are smiling and not blinking.

Super smooth videos

Fused video stabilization helps you to capture silky-smooth footage when you’re walking or moving around.
