Turn HDR "ON" not auto

[jamesrick80]

Some people have been getting washed out colors when taking pictures on the LG v20...the auto HDR feature is hit or miss...keep HDR always on and the problem is solved otherwise use manual mode but this at least solves any issues in auto mode....

I just tested this, you are not kidding, BIG difference.

Manual mode is great, but it won't always compensate well in place of HDR. HDR works by taking several shots at once at different exposure settings, then combines them all into one image. In manual mode, you only get one shot. If it's a scene with both bright and dark areas, you're going to have some sort of tradeoff. Either one area too bright one too dark, or somewhere in between that results in neither being exposed all that well.

If it had a bracketing function in manual mode, then you could do HDR shots that way with some advanced manual editing. Since it doesn't, you're better off in auto mode with it turned on.

Which megapixel setting have you been using?

16megapixel setting gives me the best pictures...

I find it lacking in lower light situations. The HDR processing in low light brings a ton of noise along with it.
