Hi @Vibhav_sahu

Only when I use flash then i use normal mode.

Useful information @Vibhav_sahu

One curiosity. Can we use HDR mode along with WB or exposure bracketing?

@C_T @Vibhav_sahu , HDR is exposure bracketing made by phone.

I remember 15 years ago first time use special software Photomatrix for HDR technique on my PC.

This software composed the image from multiple shots with different exposures.

Now smartphones do this technique automatic whem you use HDR settings.

Hi @KatyaL

Sometimes HDR pictures look unnatural, like paintings.

This case is better using normal settings (no HDR).

HDR pictures from my smartphone LG G5 looks “normally” and this is the reason I use HDR settings most of time.

Yes, I agree @KarolT . I’m also using it a lot and the result is quite good actually. Maybe it depends if you’re taking the photos when it’s dark, then the HDR lets you see small details even in the very dark areas of a scene.
