HDR not working on iPhone 13 pro max

Why is the hdr not working. I took a few photos at night and it couldn’t capture the overblown light source. I think it’s a glitch and it needs to be fixed

Some subjects are impossible to photograph eithout some reflections. Try to avoid point light sources on black backgrounds.

iPhone 12 Pro Max photos are dark and dull but videos are good My photos turn out dark and dull while the videos are really good. I saw a previous reported problem in Feb (about 150 people also said they had the same issue), for which Apple support directed the user to the photos HDR setting. My HDR is turned on already. My husband’s and son’s same model works just fine, me compared that my camera settings are exactly the same as theirs, but no avail. I hate to have spent so much on this phone… looks like a device defect to me

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.
