Google has a strange habit of pushing cool new features only to pull them back for a little while and ultimately push them out again. Obviously, this habit is bourne from Google’s love of beta apps and when you’re testing out things, you can play around a bit more. The latest cool option to go through this roller-coaster is manual exposure control in the Google Camera app.
Google tested out a manual exposure control slider in its Camera app once before during the saga of the Android N Developer Preview images, but the original incarnation was slightly different. Originally, the feature needed to be toggled on.
