Stop camera automatically changing my pictures For iPhone 14 Pro, ios18.5

iPhone 14 pro iOS 18.5 don’t have this choice to turn of the HDR for photos

I need to know how to stop my camera or phone from automatically changing or adjusting my pictures. It’s ruining them. It automatically adjusts lighting or shading or something. Please tell me how to stop this.

How do I disable auto Live Photos setting on iPhone 12 camera? Every time I take a pic the LIVE is set to on and it will not go off unless I do it manually every time. I do not have it enabled in camera settings yet every time I take a pic, it’s on. How can I make this stop? It’s extremely annoying.

ProRAW photos change after capture and become dark on iPhone 16 Pro Max Ok so i took some pictures on my Iphone 16 pro max in pro raw mode, the scene was from nigh time, with Christmas lights, the pictures looked perfect when i viewed them just after capturing them but after some time when i viewed them again, they’ve gone too dark, its so frustrating because i can’t figure out a way to revert them to what they were before and cant be edited back to normal either, is there a fix to this?

iPhone photos too punchy On my 13 pro max and now my 15 pro max, how can I turn off any enhancement of the photos? They are waaaaay too poppy. Whites blast you away. Images practically glow. It’s hideous. Also, how do I turn off HDR? That’s a nightmare for motion blur with macros. There’s used to be a button I could tap to turn it off picture by picture, but now it seems to be gone? Also, please consider adding manual focus and ISO adjustments to the native app. Oh…and the ability to “lock” a lens so the camera stops trying to determine what I’m doing and keeps switching on me.

HDR is automatic-- you're right, you don't get to choose that. But for other things use:

Settings>Camera>Preserve Settings

You get lots of choices. For instance, if you don't like Live Photos, then you can turn "Preserve" on for Live Photos, and it will preserve your "off" setting--if you turn off Live Photos, then it will stay that way, because "Preserve" is on.

Does that help?
