The new and improved Night Sight was first announced with the Pixel 7 series and as promised, the company is now bringing the latest camera features set to the older Pixel 6 family. But as 9to5Google Note that the new zoom slider we saw on the Pixel 7 phones didn’t make it to the Pixel 6.
In any case, the Night Sight improvements are no small feat. It is now faster because it requires 50% shorter exposure time. As a result, Night Sight images are less noisy and noticeably sharper. In addition to a dedicated night mode, Google has worked on HDR+ with Bracketing to reduce noise.

New night exposure toggle
When switching to Night Sight, Pixel 6 owners will notice a new toggle that lets them choose between a fast night scene or a slower one with more exposure. The range is set between 2 and 6 seconds, depending on the scenario. In well-lit environments, you don’t need a 6-second exposure.
That being said, Google Camera version 8.8 is rolling out widely, so you can either try updating through the Play Store or wait for the automatic update.
