Hello,
I could see that my 14 pro's selfie camera images are turning way darker once the photo is clicked. It gives clean bright image before clicking. Once the photo is taken the photo turns darker and the background goes bright. Seems after processing the photo turns dark. Any settings to correct this? Please provide suggestions.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
1100$ phone and I can’t turn HDR off. This needs to be fixed. Please do it with an update because the photos look awful with front camera.
Hey namanluthra,
We'd be happy to help out. iPhone 14 Pro takes photos in HDR automatically when it's most effective. The following describes this in more detail:
Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone
HDR (high dynamic range) in Camerahelps you get great shots in high-contrast situations. iPhone takes several photos in rapid succession at different exposures and blends them together to bring more highlight and shadow detail to your photos.
By default, iPhone takes photos in HDR (for the rear camera and the front camera) when it’s most effective. iPhone 12 models, iPhone 13 models, and iPhone 14 models, record video in HDR to capture true-to-life color and contrast.
On older iPhone's you could turn this off, however you're not able to do so on iPhone 14 models. When recording video it'll always default to HDR and this can be turned off using these steps:
To turn off HDR video recording, go to Settings> Camera > Record Video, then turn off HDR Video.
This is all outlined further in the iPhone User Guide here: Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support
You can also edit photos afterward to get a brighter appearance. For help with that, check out: Take and edit photos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you'd like to provide feedback on this, you can do so here: Product Feedback - Apple
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
