Caleb Shoots On The Google Pixel 4 Portrait Mode With Moment M-Series Lenses

Read for full article here 📚 geni.us/vB6KJ
Pick up a Pixel 4/4 XL Case from us 👉📱 geni.us/Ujrj
Overall we are really impressed with Portrait mode on the new Pixel 4/4XL - The shots are crispy, and you can adjust the amount of background blur pretty simply. The only wish we had was for the photo to be a bit wider, so that's where adding our lenses really comes into play!

Do these lens work for videos too?

Can i buy it even I'm living in japan?

​@@krishnavamsi2030 Yes, the M-series lenses that Moment sells, you will be able to use with video along with photos.

[@harold042483]

@moment I have an anamorphic lense. How exactly are you shooting in portrait mode. All my shots are stretched out.

[@RideWithCharan]

That shot with anamorphic lens was sick🔥🔥

[@moment]

Thanks Charan!

[@midnight_gospel]

@@moment Did you guys use the Pixel camera app or the Moment app with the anamorphic?

[@trick_er]

@@midnight_gospel obviously moment app

[@midnight_gospel]

@@trick_er and we're for certain on that?

[@KMRTZL]

@@midnight_gospel They used the PIxel phone app.

[@Ozy_x]

Was it just me or did the last Pic of the handheld coffee looked way better without the lens! You clearly can see the distortion on the wider pic, the Tele pix on the otherhand were awesome.

[@sidersproductions941]

The portrait mode looks great with these lenses but it looks like the software left large portions of some of the pics in focus actually. I'm sure they'll tighten this up over time.

[@geirahoed8382]

Since you can adapt the blurry later and even chose a focus point you can always adjust this. But yes I think they'll still be tighten the software up a lil!

[@3W14]

Part of the reason why it looks more fake is because moment lenses block the other camera which is 2x zoom. They’re giving up the computational depth effect coming from 2 cameras. I don’t think this is a good utilization of portrait mode.

[@impatrickt]

The lens trips up the AI because it’s it’s designed for the native focal length (plus using the tele lens for more accurate mapping). Regardless you can get really cool looks with the lenses too.

[@sidersproductions941]

@@3W14 ah yes that makes sense especially since it's only on one side of the image which the Moment lens probably blocks.

[@MrJed_s]

@@3W14 Good call... although I don't remember the previous Pixels (single camera) struggling that much with fairly basic human silhouettes.

[@xIRWINBx]

That anamorphic shot was incredible - so spicy 🔥

[@agiverreviga4592]

What's with the blur being more blurry on one side of the photo?

[@TechKidShazil]

yea

[@moment]

yea not sure exactly why it did it on some of the shots with the trees in the back

[@Lyander25]

Could be the phone not recognising background elements *as* background elements and trying to integrate it into the foreground? Software bokeh, eh, it's why I never really use Live Focus on my Samsung except as a fun gimmick. Edit: that said, loads of phones having ToF sensors working alongside the cameras gives me hope that the tech will improve sooner rather than later.

[@agiverreviga4592]

@@Lyander25 Or maybe when they put the Moment lens, the Pixel's tele got blocked and the phone got confused with the depth map. Though, Pixel still doesn't fully utilize it's tele lens because it doesn't even use it for Portrait shots, it just crops in. In the reviews, the tele lens looks bad in quality, very soft.

[@Lyander25]

@@agiverreviga4592 huh, that bites. I'm still on my S9+ for the foreseeable future and for all Samsung's shortcomings at least they play it straight using the tele for live focus. And that's another possibility. The Moment lenses are nice but it's concerning how they might be blocking other sensors on the back for more niche modes like these.

[@WalkingCommuter]

As the other commenters noted, there are definitely inconsistencies in the background blurring with the Moment lenses - probably has something to do with Google's software processing not being used to that kind of wide portrait.

[@ThisIsTechToday]

I can't wait for my Pixel 4 XL case to arrive!

[@KennyFocused]

Same here!

[@flickcine]

**starts saving money for a set** 😍 Loving my Pixel 4 XL already but that wide angle is definitely missing. And the anamorphic looks so good!

[@viratkc896]

Anamorphiccccccccc is just so damnnnn goooodd ❤️🔥 wooooow . That portrait tho . Good going moment family . Cheers !

[@calebrasak6322]

This just made me feel better about my pixel 4xl purchase. Gonna pick a moment case once the phone comes in!

[@PodiumTuningRacing]

You should feel great even without this video! You have features no other phone has like the live transcription, faster Assistant, HDR Live, plus the exclusive Pixel features like the now playing feature, call screening and the ability to have your assistant make an appt for you. Great purchase, I'm getting one soon myself from the S10+

[@oscar_alatorre]

Would love to see the moment lenses with a the Pixel 4 in video mode

[@SpectrGamingg]

I literally base my phone purchase decisions on whether or not they're supported by moment 😂 currently running a OnePlus 6 with the Gcam mod, and the wide lens+Anamorphic lens.

[@sokunpiseth8784]

Could you do a video with Note 10+ ? Really appreciated!!

[@exhibitD79]

I love your cases. But after watching this video I think I prefer the standard portrait mode of the Pixel. Are you guys going to make a Pixel 4 battery case? Think we need that the most! ;)

[@hillary-27]

Moment Gear Guide here! A Pixel battery case is not something we're working on, unfortunately.

[@katliamzon-alinas2750]

hiiiii moment! is there a video like a deep dive review or comparison of the different lenses you have? 😊

[@katliamzon-alinas2750]

I'm having a hard time choosing between lenses that fits me 😭

[@jakedoloricon400]

Are moment lenses available across different mobile phones? Or there are only specific phones?

[@sushitrey6863]

will you guys be releasing video when shooting on iphone 11 pro max portrait mode??

[@Vimantha]

My Question is... How to use Anamorphic Lens for Portrait ? With Stock Camera there is no option for anamorphic adaptor... In moment Camera theres no Portrait Mode?

[@midnight_gospel]

Asking the same thing here my friend

[@h20breaker]

I believe you have to download the moment app

[@Vimantha]

Already Downloaded Moment Camera app (Android).. But No portrait mode there....

[@themr.e251]

Did anyone figure this out?

[@C7Edgar]

The pixel 4 and 4 XL doesn't come with an ultra wide, which lens do you recommend the most to substitute that lens? Super fish or wide 18mm? Super fish is more of what we found on smartphones this days isn't it?

[@simonwiltshire9324]

Pixel 4 hits with portrait mode really nicely, all of the time. Seems the 18mm is throwing it off and not working, so my takeaway is don't use the lenses. The 58 seemed better, the wide was bad?

[@iatethemacaroni]

Just got my case and lenses! How did you guys use Portrait mode on the anamorphic lens and get a desqueezed image in-camera though? Any advice would be terrific.

[@Hades69777]

Quick question... Can I dessquezze a photo which already shoot before (with stock camera app) in moment camera app?

[@RaulVazquez-dh7sz]

What is the best way to attach these lenses on a dual lens camera? I just got the pixel 4xl and had the opportunity to get the moment lenses, but at the time I doubted they would work well with a dual camera phone. I will definitely go back and get them!

[@youareming]

Can you release a Thin or Filmmaker's case for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL (to match the iphone 11's case options)? The existing case is too big.

[@impatrickt]

Google adds a second lens to apparently make portrait mode photos better - but it never uses the second lens to depth map because the moment lens would cover it. CONSPIRACY.

[@moment]

could be true!

[@joostbakker]

It could be automatically detecting it getting blocked and not using it therefore

[@impatrickt]

joost bakker absolutely but like in MKBHD’s review - when it’s blocked or not doesn’t seem to make any difference in quality. So what is that lens really doing.

[@abilashbalakrishnan]

So technically there is no point of the lens slot on the telelens for pixel 4 moment cases? I wonder why the case have a hole for the telelens in the first place 😂. Google's AI based zoom might get better shots on pixel 4 rather than using 58mm due to this problem. I am assuming the telelens is used for portrait and zoom photos which will be blocked by moment lens. I hate this video so much for the fact that they didn't bother to mention this problem. Or did they do that on purpose?

[@jacob1547]

Hi Patrick, do you mind elaborate on your finding on this issue? I thought the secondary zoom lens is for some sort of computation mapping? In fact I have look close enough video after video and the portrait picture for Pixel 4 is in fact way better quality than pixel 2&3

[@musaddiqzul]

portrait anamorphic lens is dope

[@blakele3686]

Do I need to buy both the lens and case too?

[@joeltimothyandco]

Dude. Anamorphic portraits. 🤙🏻

[@kambylborries1972]

I just got my Anamorphic lens for the Pixel 4. When you get it, the notecard says you might have to configure the lens based on your phone model, but it doesn't list the Pixel 4. Do you have to turn the lens for the Pixel 4, or is it good as is? I'm excited to get shooting with these new lenses!

[@nagabackyardkitchen]

M here to see the amazing shots captured by moment lens

[@muhammadafg1126]

Real question What camera and lens do you use for this video?

[@MilkKomsonChannel]

How do you guys use Portrait mode with Anamorphic lens? Do you have to de-squeeze the images yourself since you’re shooting with native Google Camera app?

Why you don't use these lenses on samsung flagships???

[@immo323]

Plz make one for the 4a! Can't wait!😃😃

[@fernandocastillo3670]

Can't believe Google didn't fix that blur issue when the majority of time the right side of the photo is still in focus, pixel 2 and 3 had that issue

[@makuletreg15]

That's only apparent when he put on the wide-angle lens

[@Beardyvlogger]

Which lense of yours do you recommend for just like reviewing stuff in my basement

[@rahjinkurzol7495]

Almost bought these lenses, then i saw they actually charge for the app too. premium lenses and they charge for the app. its not even that much, its just that little extra squeeze of cash, because you need the app for the lenses. Been watching all the old vids when the app was free, so was a surprise when i tried to get it and play around to make sure it work on my phone before i bought the lenses. Extra: Plus the amount of complaints on android store about the app not working right.

Which lens is recommended for some lightweight food pics? I looked at the macro lens and the ultra wide lens and I'm not sure what to get based on the types of food pics I take. I really like close up shots so the macro would've been a great fit, but I also just recently started taking more overhead shots and wide spreads of food. Ahh so confusing lol.

[@steveolp1099]

Wide. Macro would be great if you're showing ingredients or really small details.

[@mrdevlorx]

please use the astro mode and use ur lenses :)

[@alexiogonzalez9495]

Nice video... Do it also on the iPhone 11, not the Pro. Please!!!??

[@KShabee]

Does this still work well? When I tried this recently with the wide angle lens on my Pixel 4XL, in all the portrait shots one side gets blurred and the other side doesn't. I later realised this was because the portrait mode uses the Pixel's 2nd lens as well to figure out the depth, and the wide angle lens attachment was blocking it and messing with the blurring.

[@DonnieGQX]

That anamorphic portrait was dope. I'ma cop that lens, any discounts on it?

[@geirahoed8382]

Right now they have a discount of 15% for one lens and 20% if you buy two :) but only for today!

[@fuckinalvarez]

somebody please give an answer to this!

[@hillary-27]

Hey there! Moment Gear guide here. According to our product team, from some quick testing, it looks like Apple's portrait mode uses two lenses by default, but if you cover up the secondary lens, then it switches to single-lens portrait mode. So yes! You will be able to use Moment lenses with all the new iPhones 🎉🎉🎉

[@dontgetmadgetwise4271]

Pixel's shallow DoF emulation can be improved... or just use a real camera I guess. The tree backgrounds weren't even close to symmetric with softening applied very differently on left and right sides of the frame.
