Hello raisa39,


When you say the "auto enhance feature" are you talking about HDR in photos? If so, you can potentially turn it off (depending on your model) with these steps: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR. Then from the camera screen, tap HDR to turn it off or on.


This will work on iPhone 12 and older models. If you're using an iPhone 13 or newer, you cannot turn off HDR as the option doesn't exist in the Settings menu.


Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone


If you're using an iPhone 12 or newer, you can also enable the ProRAW option which just gives you the raw picture file without any applied corrections. You can find that option in Settings > Camera > Formats > Apple ProRAW.


Take Apple ProRAW photos with your iPhone camera


Cheers!
