Part 1: What is HDR Photo on iPhone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
HDR is short for High-Dynamic Range. Compared with ordinary images, it can provide more dynamic range and image details. According to LDR (Low-Dynamic Range) images with different exposure times, using the LDR image with the best detail corresponding to each exposure time to synthesize the final HDR image can better reflect the visual effect in the real environment.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\nWhen we turn on the HDR mode in the iPhone camera, the iPhone camera will quickly take photos with different exposures (one with normal exposure, and the other two with exposures of the brightest and darkest parts of the scene), and then automatically combine these three photos to form an HDR photo with better colors and details. HDR on iPhone is the combination of three photos at different exposures that can simply convert a regular photo to HDR photo so as to bring stunning pictures to you. As we all know, human eyes can catch much greater dynamic range than camera, for camera can't capture details in a very dark or bright place. While HDR photo on iPhone can create more delicate pictures by combining three exposures into one that seems to be seamless.<\/p>\n

2. When Should You Take HDR Photos with iPhone<\/h3>\n
The first situation you should take HDR photos with iPhone is to take landscape photos. After using HDR, the dark areas will not look particularly dark after the combination of three consecutive sky photos, and the bright areas will not look particularly bright. The whole photo has both a sense of detail and a sense of contrast. The second is to illuminate people or objects in the sun. After turning on the HDR function, the entire subject will look perfect. The third is that you can use the HDR function when the light is particularly dark, for example, you want to shoot street scenes in a dark street. Turning on the HDR function, although the particularly dark areas on both sides will not become brighter, the brightness of the foreground part of your subject will be improved, giving people a more distinct feeling.<\/p>\n

If the colors of the objects or landscapes you are shooting are very bright, turning on HDR shooting may cause the colors to become dim. At this time, you can turn off the HDR mode according to your needs. If you want to achieve a strong contrast between light and dark, you had better not use HDR mode to shoot, because the contrast may be reduced after turning it on, and the ideal effect you need cannot be achieved. <\/p>\n
