One new feature found on the Pixel 7 Pro is Macro Focus. Move your camera close enough to the subject of a photo that you’re going to take, and the ultra-wide camera turns on Macro Focus. With the latter enabled, you can take extreme close-ups of flowers, insects, grains of rice, and more. But how can you prevent your Pixel 7 Pro’s ultra-wide camera from automatically enabling Macro Focus when that is the last thing in the world you want?
The “Auto” setting will show a flower icon with the letter “A” on the right side. Leaving the Macro Focus toggle in the “On” position will keep the Macro Focus feature on at all times which is indicated by the flower icon. You’ll also see a message on the top of the screen that says “Macro is locked.” This gives the Pixel 7 Pro an always ready Macro camera (in place of the ultra-wide camera, of course).
Update to the Google Camera app adds new settings for Macro Focus on the Pixel 7 Pro
