What is Google Night Sight?

Google introduced the Night Sight feature when the Pixel 3 launched and it enabled more realistic images in low-light environments.

Cameras on smartphones are evolving every year, with companies developing better technology and AI allowing users to take higher quality photos.

Night Sight is a feature developed by Google which has further enhanced the camera capabilities of the handset. Read on to find out everything you need to know about Google Night Sight.

What is Google Night Sight and how does it work?

As the name suggests, Google Night Sight is a feature that helps users take better photos in low light conditions.

The feature uses AI as well as machine learning to brighten photos taken in dark environments. First, it detects any motion in the image, as motion can cause long exposure issues and blur photos.

Detecting any blur helps the camera decide whether to use a long or short exposure to minimize problems in the photo.

It also works similarly to Google's HDR+ system, taking bursts of images so it can merge multiple images together to create the best shot possible.

AI is also used to help balance the color of an image, as you may have noticed that photos taken with Night Sight type features can have a yellow or reddish color. Night Sight aims to overcome this with AI, processing the image to ensure it looks more realistic.

The fact that it works via AI also means that Google can update and develop its Night Sight feature over time to continually improve it, which is usually completed as hardware is updated with more handsets. recent.

What devices have Google Night Sight?

Google Night Sight is exclusive to the Pixel series. However, since Night Sight is a software feature and not a hardware feature, the company updated its older Pixel models after the Pixel 3 launched.

It's also included on the latest Pixel sets, including the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and we expect it to be featured on the upcoming Google Pixel 7.
