iPhone SE 2020 photo colors too vivid

Hello Cat423.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that your photos appear oversaturated and you have to edit them. I’m happy to help.

Please try the steps here to disable HDR: Use HDR on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Let me know the results.

Take care.

I have the same situation as the person above. I sell products and must have accurate color representation. My 6s was always great but having to edit each photo taken with the SE2020 is so frustrating, especially since I thought I was getting a better camera.

Please advise!

I have the exact same situation. So frustrating when you need to have accurate color and every photo has to be edited to look true-to-life. Don't understand why this was never as issue with my 6s but is a big problem on my new SE2020. Discouraging for sure.

Even just candid photos outside look technicolor. The fake oversaturated look looks terrible to me. I had a Pixel 3 before this phone and can't believe how much I've downgraded my camera.

It seems more likely that it's software than hardware. My guess is that it's a filter that I don't want it to be run through. Is there another camera app that can be used?

Did you find the Apple page on turning off the automatic HDR setting? I have done that and perhaps noticed a little improvement but the problem still exists.

I am also an artist and this is happening to me as well. It is maddening. I reset to factory settings and the issue persists. Did you figure out a fix?
