To use Tabletop Camera mode, first rest your phone on a flat surface with the outer screen down, then tap the Flip Camera button. You’ll see the interface rotate so the top screen shows what the camera sees and the bottom portion shows various settings and controls. To take a photo, simply press the shutter button when you’re ready (you can also control the camera using a paired Pixel Watch).
Take a hands-free photo with Palm Timer
Rear Camera Selfie and Tabletop Camera mode are great features that you’ll love with the Fold, but to take both features to the next level, try taking selfies using the built-in Palm Timer. This feature first came to the Pixel Fold when we launched and has since rolled out to Pixel 6 and newer phones.
When enabled, you can raise the palm of your hand in front of the camera and it’ll automatically trigger a countdown timer to take the photo. It’s perfect for taking group pics without having to run and get in place.
To use Palm Timer, open the Camera Settings, select Timer and choose either the 3- or 10-second timer option. When you’re ready, hold up your hand with your palm facing the camera almost like you’re waving at it. From there, all you have to do is lower your hand to trigger the timer and strike a pose.
