New Delhi: Google has started rolling out its Camera app version 8.2 on the Pixel series phone bringing an improved experience for taking videos with a long-press of the shutter button.

The Google Play Store has begun rolling out version 8.2 of the Camera app, a slight bump from the previous 8.1 release, to Pixel owners.

The update has arrived on a Pixel 5.

In Google Camera 8.2.204, the user can start recording a video, leaving his hands free, with a few swipes on the screen.

The feature builds on a quick capture setting that was originally introduced in Google Camera 7.1 alongside the Pixel 4’s release.

In the latest version of the application, one can slide a finger to the left to launch the hands-free mode; which will allow users to continue shooting without holding a finger on the button. One can also zoom in or out by moving a finger up or down.

Google Camera 8.2.204 is rolling out now and should be available more widely in the coming days.
