more capabilities and better support for taking advantage of the hardware.</p>
<p>The Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 (but not the Pixel 3a) have a Pixel Visual Core providing
a hardware-based implementation of HDR+. HDR+ captures many images and intelligently
merges data across them, taking into account motion, etc. It substantially improves
the quality of images, especially in low light. This is used transparently for third
party apps that are compatible with it, and there isn't an explicit switch to turn it
on or off for most of them. An example of a compatible app is Open Camera's default
configuration, or Open Camera with the Camera 2 API and other settings (including the
the various knobs / toggles outside of the settings menu) left alone. In general, HDR+
will work transparently in most apps as long as they keep things simple and use a good
minimalist approach to taking pictures. It should work transparently in most messaging
apps, etc. with internal support for taking pictures.</p>
