The company won&#8217;t disclose all the areas the Pixel 2 camera uses machine learning and &#8220;neural network&#8221; technology that works something like human brains, but it&#8217;s at least used in setting photo exposure and portrait-mode focus.<\/p>\n<p>Neural networks do their learning via lots of real-world data. A neural net that sees enough photographs labeled with &#8220;cat&#8221; or &#8220;bicycle&#8221; eventually learns to identify those objects, for example, even though the inner workings of the process aren&#8217;t the if-this-then-that sorts of algorithms humans can follow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It bothered me that I didn&#8217;t know what was inside the neural network,&#8221; said Levoy, who initially was a machine-learning skeptic. &#8220;I knew the algorithms to do things the old way. I&#8217;ve been beat down so completely and consistently by the success of machine learning&#8221; that now he&#8217;s a convert.<\/p>\n<p>One thing Google didn&#8217;t add more of was actual cameras.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/products\/apple-iphone-8-plus\/review\/\">Apple&#8217;s iPhone 8 Plus<\/a>, Samsung&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/products\/samsung-galaxy-note-8\/review\/\" data-annotation=\"true\" data-component=\"linkTracker\" data-link-tracker-options=\"{&quot;action&quot;:&quot;inline-annotation|Samsung Galaxy Note 8|CNET_FAM_SERIES|225&quot;}\">Galaxy Note 8<\/a>, and other flagship phones these days come with two cameras, but for now at least, Google concentrated its energy on making that single camera as good as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything you do is a tradeoff,&#8221; Knight said. Second cameras often aren&#8217;t as good in dim conditions as the primary camera, and they consume more power while taking up space that could be used for a battery. &#8220;We decided we could deliver a really compelling experience with a single camera.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s approach also means its single-lens camera can use portrait mode even with\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/pixel-2-gets-moment-telephoto-wide-angle-camera-lenses\/\">add-on phone-cam lenses from Moment<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and others.<\/p>\n<h2>Light from darkness<\/h2>\n<p>So what makes the Google Pixel 2 camera tick?<\/p>\n<p>A key foundation is HDR+, a technology that deals with the age-old photography problem of dynamic range. A camera that can capture a high dynamic range (HDR) records details in the shadows without turning bright areas like somebody&#8217;s cheeks into distracting glare.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s take on the problem starts by capturing up to 10 photos, all very underexposed so that bright areas like blue skies don&#8217;t wash out. It picks the best of the bunch, weeding out blurry ones, then combines the images to build up a properly lit image.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to last year, Google went even farther down the HDR+ path. The raw frames are even darker on the Pixel 2. &#8220;We&#8217;re underexposing even more so we can get even more dynamic range,&#8221; Knight said.<\/p>\n<p>Google also uses artificial intelligence to judge just how bright is right, Levoy said. Google trained its AI with many photos carefully labeled so the machine-learning system could figure out what&#8217;s best. &#8220;What exposure do you want for this sunset, that snow scene?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Those are important decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image-large pull-none shortcode\">\n<div class=\"originalImage\" data-open=\"modal\" data-target=\"#b7abab5a-3006-46e6-881b-b793dbdb4f21\" data-component=\"modalEnlargeImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/c-7npsfqifvt34x24dofu4x2edctjtubujdx2edpn.g00.cnet.com\/g00\/3_c-7x78x78x78.dofu.dpn_\/c-7NPSFQIFVT34x24iuuqtx3ax2fx2fdofu4.dctjtubujd.dpnx2fjnhx2fYzw4IaSCapUUujOJZkWnPmZ8H8Rx3dx2f3128x2f21x2f28x2fc8bcbc6b-4117-57f7-992c-c804ecec5g32x2f31282127-qjyfm-3-wt-qjyfm-2-12.kqhx3fj21d.nbsl.jnbhf.uzqf_$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\/$\" alt=\"In challenging conditions like this dawn sky, the Pixel 2 photo at left is sharper, with better shadow details and a less washed-out sky compared to the shot from 2016's first-gen Pixel.
