How to disable Smart HDR on iPhone 13 pro?

I bought the iPhone 13 pro and I can’t find how to turn off the auto smart HDR. Often the photos looks overly sharpened and unrealistic (skin tone). Obviously it’s impossible to switch off. Do you have a trick? An update will fixe it?

thank you!

Smart HDR cannot be turned off on iPhone 13. When I went to the camera settings to turn off Smart HDR, I realized that there was no such setting. This is really annoying and I want this setting to come back. Image processing applied in captured photos failed. I experimented with the iPhone 11 to see if there was a difference, and when I turned on Smart HDR, image processing came into play in the photo taken, increased the sharpness of the image and the color accuracy was wrong; when I turned off the setting, recorded as the image looks. In short, although Apple thinks it works properly, image processing or HDR, I don't know exactly what the problem is, but the Smart HDR setting for the iPhone 13 should come back. No one has been interested in this for more than 1 year and I couldn't figure out how to solve it. This is sad.
