**Another Camera Jitter Problem Has Surfaced for One of Google’s Previous Generation Phones**
In the most recent update from Google’s Android 16 beta testing, Pixel 8 Pro users are facing a new camera dilemma. Users have reported a trembling, unsteady camera issue occurring at 1x and 2x zoom levels, predominantly impacting the 50MP lens. This issue has been widely noted on platforms such as Reddit, following the release of Google’s Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1, which introduced features like an “At a Glance” toggle in Quick Settings.
The problem presents itself as a focusing difficulty, where the camera initially operates normally but turns blurry and unfocused when switched to 50MP mode. Users have provided video proof of this issue, mentioning that it was not present prior to the update. The issue is limited to the 50MP lens, with some users experiencing temporary relief by switching to the 12MP lens or manually focusing, although these are not optimal fixes.
Google is aware of the situation, as indicated in their IssueTracker, but a swift solution may be delayed due to the holiday season. This is not the first occasion Pixel phones have encountered camera troubles; Pixel 10 Pro users previously noted a jittery camera during video recording because of EIS (electronic image stabilization) issues.
While Google’s Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 introduced some improvements, such as a new Quick Settings slider, the camera problems remain a major concern for affected users. As the community waits for a fix, attention stays on Google’s response to these ongoing camera issues.
