Using HDR
When shooting portraits against a bright background, use HDR, short for High Dynamic Range, to capture your subjects clearly. HDR brings out the details of both the highlights and shadows, even in high contrast lighting.
Note
HDR works best when your subject is steady. The camera takes multiple shots at different exposure levels and combines them into one enhanced photo.
- Open the Camera app.
- Switch to Camera mode. To capture an HDR video, switch to Video mode.
- Tap Auto icon, and then tap HDR icon. For an HDR video, tap Video Camera icon beside the menu button, and then tap HDR icon.
- To take an HDR photo, tap Camera icon. Tap Video Camera icon to start recording.
