According to the test results, the automatic shooting mode of the Pixel 7a retained natural colors and white balance in good light. It also correctly selected the exposure without highlights and unnecessarily dark shadows.
When taking photos especially in low light conditions, there are two drawbacks. One, it has digital noise and two is the presence of unstable white balance when there is a bright light source in the background of the shot.
