However, in the captured photo, the HDR feature restored detail in the clouds and often presented blue skies where they weren’t visible in the preview. Typically, the way to compensate for that would be to reduce the exposure before you take the photo (tap the screen to set the focus and exposure, and then drag the brightness indicator down to darken the scene). Bright areas, such as clouds in the sky, appeared blown out while framing the shot. In fact, it may subtly alter the way you take photos with the iPhone.
#WHERE IS IMAGE CAPTURE ON IPHONE PLUS#
Taking the iPhone 8 Plus outside on a sunny day provided dramatic results. I tested using an iPhone 8 Plus, but the feature applies to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, as well. Together they add more processing oomph, resulting in more dramatic HDR effects – without taking it too far. The 8 and 8 Plus include an image sensor with larger pixels and improved silicon – a new ISP (image signal processor) and more powerful A11 Bionic main processor. And it's not exactly the same HDR effect used by previous devices. You can opt to hold onto that original by going to Settings > Camera > HDR (High Dynamic Range) and choosing Keep Normal Photo.įor the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (and the forthcoming iPhone X), however, auto HDR is enabled by default. A small yellow “HDR” icon appears at the top of the screen when it’s active.Ĭapturing the HDR photo saves two images: the original metered image and a single HDR version that is a blend of three exposures (regular, light, and dark, which are recorded and combined in-camera, not saved as individual images). On those devices, Auto means the camera decides whether HDR should kick in to improve a photo when capturing scenes under low light or with a lot of tonal contrast (such as a bright sky and dark foreground).
On iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and earlier models, even under iOS 11, the HDR mode can be manually turned on, off, or set to Auto in the capture interface. When I mentioned to a friend that I was testing the HDR feature, he visibly winced, but there’s no need: Apple’s implementation shows that the term “HDR” doesn’t have to be associated with the garish, hyperreal look of a lot of HDR imagery. In fact, in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple is so confident in the results that HDR is an automatic setting. HDR images are balanced and realistic, to the point where you may not even think about whether a photo is HDR or not. Capturing HDR (high dynamic range) photos using an iPhone or iPad camera isn’t a new feature, but using it in the iPhone 8 Plus is the first time I’ve been wowed by it.
