8
Scroll all the way to the bottom to where it says "HDR (HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE)"

It explains that "HDR blends the best parts of three separate exposures into a single photo." What that means is that HDR takes three pictures and gives you one picture. You do not get those three pictures. You just get one.

Tap on the screen quickly to zoom out from the photo

20
Swipe over to the next photo and note the shadows on the image

If we look at the photo of the car, this is the normal photo
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22
We'll swipe right to view the HDR photo
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23
In the HDR photo, there's more detailed shadow in the yellowish area on the window

25
Switch back over to the normal photo
.

Scroll back again to the car image, and we'll note that the back area of the car is a little more blurry
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
29
Swipe over to the HDR image, and there's more detail visible, particularly on the roof of the silver car in front
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
30
In the normal photo, the detail is just slightly more blurred
.
This is because the HDR is a combination of three images. However, many times if we're taking images of people walking or of things that have a lot of movement, we will end up with ghosts.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
31
The vehicles in this picture were mostly stopped, which is why this picture does not have what they would call ghosts
.
This is where there might be a second image of the car because it was moving quickly. HDR is usually fantastic for nature pictures or sky pictures where there are a lot of clouds, and we want to catch that detail.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
32
Normal photos are usually better for people who are moving and jumping around
.
When it comes to that, we're going to want to take burst mode photos of movement. Burst mode photos are discussed in another tutorial, so feel free to search for that to learn more about it.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
33
We will zoom back out now, and then give a quick tap to the arrow at the top left corner to go back
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
34
We can now scroll through our album, and we can see all of the images we've taken with the HDR version and the version that is not HDR
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
35
Press the Home button one time to return to the home screen of our phone
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
