Benefits of staggered HDR in Google Pixel 8 Camera?
Many people who do not have much knowledge about it would be thinking of the meaning of staggered HDR photography in Google Pixel 8. Well, Staggered HDR photography works by capturing multiple exposures at the same time while using the same pixels. It means At the same time the device will use the same pixel but will be able to capture multiple exposures. The advantage of this method is that it creates the same effect as normal HDR photography but the chances of a blurry photo are decreased. This is due to the camera capturing multiple exposures which reduces the need for additional capture time. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro use Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor, which doesn’t support staggered HDR. It means the upcoming Pixel device will include Samsung ISOCELL GN2, which does support staggered HDR. Also Read: FTC sued Google & iHeartMedia for deceptive Pixel 4 ads
