Adjusting brightness and shadows directly in the viewfinder allows photographers to experiment with high contrast, silhouettes, and moody tones.

This update brings back the ability to fine-tune photos on the fly, making it more accessible for users aiming for professional-grade shots without additional editing.

Quick Access to Controls: The revamped interface ensures that manual options are intuitive and easy to access.

Simplified Workflow: Adjustments can now be made seamlessly, saving users from switching between modes or relying on post-processing apps.

The update is confirmed to work across a range of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 8 Pro, with users reporting a smoother and more responsive experience.
