How to turn off HDR photo in iPhone 13 pro?

Hi, when I got my iPhone 13 pro back in December 2021, there was an option, which I can toggle on/off the HDR setting when shooting photos. Later with IOS updates, that option has disappeared.


From Apple's official support, the older phones are still having that option, in settings.


My question is: Is there a way to turn off the HDR in photo mode in my iPhone 13 pro?

Or alternatively: Can we have a non-HDR picture of the same shot?

Or alternatively: Can the future upgrade on IOS add this switch HDR on/off feature back?


Thanks!

Good day to you Barryluo, 


HDR is not a setting that can be adjusted on iPhone 13 models. Per the iPhone User Guide - Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone


Turn off automatic HDR
By default, iPhone automatically uses HDR when it’s most effective. On some iPhone models, you can manually control HDR instead.

• On iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 models, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone 12 models: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR. Then from the camera screen, tap HDR to turn it off or on.
• On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Auto HDR.
To turn HDR back on from the camera screen, tap HDR, then tap On.

Keep the non-HDR version of a photo
By default, the HDR version of a photo is saved in Photos. On iPhone X and earlier models, you can also save the non-HDR version.

Go to Settings > Camera, then turn on Keep Normal Photo.


You can certainly provide some feedback to Apple about the camera settings as well using this link - Product Feedback


Thanks.
