Pixel phones are popular for their high-quality camera capabilities. The Pixel Camera app has been updated to version 10.2. While it seems to be a minor update on the surface, it includes some tweaks to the quick settings sliders that helps you adjust white balance, brightness, and shadows.
A tweak in Pixel Camera 10.1 returned these sliders to their original positions with shadows being above brightness on the right hand side. Practically speaking, adjusting brightness usually comes first before shadows and should naturally take precedence.
Reports suggest that version 10.1 change didn’t actually happen . Shadows still remained at the top with brightness at the bottom, and was exclusive to the Google Pixel 10 series at launch. For other Pixels, brightness is displayed at the top for both versions 10.1 and 10.2.
Pixel 10 camera app is different from others
The confusing part is why Google would do something different on the Pixel 10 from every other Pixel in exactly the same app. Even the Pixel Camera 10.1 app on Pixel 9 Pro Fold still has the brightness slider above the shadow slider on the right, and it will likely stay the same with v10.2.
To use these sliders, go to the Camera app, tap the gear icon in the lower left, then tap the three dots, and enable Quick access controls. You can easily use these quick access sliders appear while taking a photo. Although the sliders haven’t changed in the Pixel Camera 10.2 , there have to be minor updates. Since they aren’t noticeable, they will probably be bug fixes and stability improvements. Who knows, Pixel 10 users may even get a fix for a video stabilization issue that’s previously been reported.
