Iphone 14 Pro tunr off Smart HDR

Is there a way to turn off smartHDR or automatic photo enhancements for Iphone 14 pro?


It is very frustrating to see the perfect shot ruined by automatic enhancements. Especially with darker scenes, I become a soap and pop so much in the picture which is so bad and ugly


Please let me know how to capture photos and save it AS IS like in viewfinder :(

Nothing.

Nowhere.

Regarding a solution for iphone 14 pro’s dull photos.

All is HDR treated… and badly.

I’ve had my phone close to a year and it has been a constant disappointment that Apple does not help… other than things like “swipe up while in camera mode and adjust exposure”, clean camera lenses, restart phone etc…


Give us the option to remove this HDR over-treatment please!

Its ruining priceless moments with a multitude of subpar images.

On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Auto HDR. To turn HDR back on from the camera screen, tap HDR, then tap On.


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.


Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone
