When you take a photo or start a video recording, iPhone makes a shutter sound. You
can use the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone to control the volume of the
shutter sound. You don’t hear a sound if you set the Ring/Silent switch to silent. See
“Sounds and the Ring/Silent Switch” on page 191.
Note: In some regions, the sound effects for Camera are played even if the Ring/Silent
switch is set to silent.
On iPhone 4, you can turn on HDR to take HDR (high dynamic range) photos. HDR
blends the best parts of three separate exposures into a single photo. For best results,
iPhone and the subject should be stationary.
Turn HDR on or off: Tap the HDR button at the top of the screen. The button shows
whether HDR is on or off. (HDR is off by default.)
Note: When HDR is on, the flash is turned off.
With HDR, you can save both the normal-exposure version and the HDR version of a
photo in the Camera Roll, or save just the HDR version. By default, both are saved.
Choose whether to save both the normal-exposure version and the HDR version
of photos: In Settings, choose Photos, then turn Keep Normal Photo on or off. If the
setting is turned off, only the HDR version of a photo is saved.
