"Google Pixel 8 Pro: Manual Shutter Speed, Black Friday Win, AI vs Performance Review"
The Google Pixel 8 Pro introduces a manual camera mode that allows users to control shutter speed, ISO, and brightness. While the manual shutter speed can produce excellent results in certain conditions, such as freezing fast movements or capturing water effects, it has limitations. Users can only control two out of three variables (shutter speed, ISO, brightness) due to fixed aperture lenses. In daylight, longer shutter speeds are not recommended, while shorter shutter speeds are useful for capturing fast movements. At night, the built-in Night Sight mode often produces better results than longer shutter speeds, except when shooting moving water or light. Overall, the default camera mode on the Pixel 8 Pro is highly capable, and the manual shutter speed should be used selectively.
