Did Google forget to add Super Res Zoom to the Google Pixel 7 Pro's telephoto camera?
introduces a lot of new software tactics to get better images, particularly at various zoom levels. I did some detailed testing and noticed something curious with the zoom processing.For the uninitiated, Super Res Zoom is Google’s magic to make a zoom shot better than simply cropping an image. It uses the shaking of your hand to gather more information about the thing you’re taking a picture of.
The camera shake is still present at 2x zoom. So even though they are cropping the middle pixels from the sensor, they are still using the Super Res Zoom technology from before in conjunction. So, then the question might be “Would a 1.9x shot look a lot less detailed than a 2x shot?”1.9x is quite a bit worse than 2x if you crop in on the details. From just looking at the full-size images side-by-side on a large monitor, you don’t really notice.
However, I decided to test that last part too, and the difference between 1.4x and 1.9x was extremely small. Here is that comparison:At zoom levels above 2x, Google claims to use the telephoto lens to augment the main lens. However, the telephoto lens can’t see everything the main lens can. So, wouldn’t that mean that the center of the image will be substantially better quality than the edges? Well, I tested this too.

I wonder if some super genius could come up with an algorithm where they take both pixel-binned shots and full 50 MP shots and combine them to increase both resolution and dynamic range.So, here’s the weird thing. At no point does the telephoto lens intentionally move the motor in the OIS for you when you are stabilized, regardless of zoom level.
