Ok, I just got my hands on a Pixel 7 pro and I'm absolutely loving the guided frame camera feature. For the first time in my 33 years on this rock ball people are telling me I'm taking great pictures, faces aren't cropped on the side of the shot etc. I'm just wondering if it's been giving reversed directions to anyone else? Like it's usually bang on with telling me which way to move the phone but sometimes it tells me to go left and down when I really need to go right and up etc and I'm wondering if that's normal and if so why it sometimes goes all upside down on me? I can usually figure it out but it's weird.

How is this featureā¦
How is this feature different than what we get with voiceover and the face detection thing in the camera?
good question
So I have an iPhone se 2022 and don't know how face detection works on newer/better iPhones. The iPhone will tell me there is one face in the right or left or whatever, so did my old samsung, this tells you where to move the camera and automatically takes the shot when it thinks the face or food is in focus. That's another thing, it doesn't work for everything but I got some great food shots. I know, it's the little things ...
As I understand it guidedā¦
As I understand it guided frame actually covers more area than just a human face.
Re: Reverse directions
When it tells you to go a direction, and you know for a fact you need to go in the opposite direction, are you by chance holding the phone in landscape mode?
Funny that since all thatā¦
Funny that since all that time nobody replied to it and when I come here to ask a question more or less related it gets replies in less than two hours.
More Spreading The Word About This Forum Existing,

It is my personal belief that a number of AV users simply choose to ignore the "non-Apple" forums. I, on the other hand, love the additional topic space. :D
If I can open fs companionā¦
If I can open fs companion with nvda I am certainly more open minded then them. Applevis did a great job in my opinion to actually sort of acknowledging that accessibility exists and can sometimes be better elsewhere and especially on windows :) Like the existence of that feature is quite interesting as it seems.
I'm only on here sporatically
I feel sort of like a seagul. I come in here, crap on whatever conversations and fly away. That's my excuse haha. As for landscape mode no, I only keep my phone in portrait mode but the problem does seem fixed in the android 16 beta or maybe just my last camera update, hard to tell. Either way I do find it useful though the novelty is sort of wearing thin.
Fertilizer
It sounds like a good thing. Getting a good shot is usually an exhausting ordeal, and rarely just a spontaneous "I'll get a picture of that thing going on over there," like the sighted people do.
My iPhone of the same model does tell me vaguely what is in the viewfinder just by putting VO focus on it. I've used the face thing to get a good idea of where the boundaries of the frame are when I use a tripod or a clamp mount.
I think having some sort of AI cropping feature that you can tell it to do something like crop the picture around the bird in the bottom left corner and resize it to the original picture dimensions, or even better, make a new picture that looks good out of the bird in the corner of the frame, would be the golden goose. Eh, just a dream...
Some differences between face detection and Guided frame
Well, there are several factors to consider but in reality Guided frame feature offered by Pixel cameras is a step forward.
Face detection on iPhone is something very basic but functional that has not advanced since it was implemented and only offers the functionality to detect faces.
Guiding frame is something more advanced that apart from face detection also identify objects, food selfies and when itās in frame will take the photo automatically in 3 seconds.
Also Guided frame feature has been improve to Google wallet, when you want to add your bank card or ID into your digital wallet
