Google Pixel 7 Pro camera now has auto macro feature
Google has added a macro feature on the Pixel 7 Pro. She’s part of a new version of the Google Camera app, and that update is rolling out now. What is special about the macro function is that the Pixel 7 Pro can determine itself when macro is needed.

Macro Google Pixel 7 Pro
The Pixel 7 Pro’s camera is now better suited for taking close-up photos. Google is currently rolling out a macro feature for the Pixel 7 Pro with version 8.7.250 of the Google Camera app. 9To5Google knows that. The macro function is only available for the Pro version and not for the Pixel 7 base model. That’s presumably because Google uses the Pixel 7 Pro’s telephoto camera to shoot a subject up close.
If you have the latest version of Google Camera, a feature called ‘Auto Macro’ is active by default in the app’s settings. With Auto Macro, the smart algorithms can estimate for themselves when you get so close that the macro function must be turned on in order to take a sharp photo. Your camera app then switches to a different lens.
By the way, it is also possible to control the macro function via the drop-down menu of Google Camera. There you can switch off the automatic mode and switch the macro on or off instead. For example, the app only takes macro photos or none at all, respectively.
Feedback while shooting
It is noteworthy that Google shows with small text messages on the screen whether or not the macro function works. When you shoot a subject up close, you’ll see confirmation that macro mode is working. Instead, if macro is turned off in settings and you then try to take a close-up photo, you’ll be reminded that the macro feature is off.
We have not yet received the update of the Google Camera app at the editors. Do you see him yet? Let us know in the comments.
