Yesterday Apple announced that iOS 4.1 will come with a new function: HDR that will allow us to take pictures that show much closer to reality than those currently made with the iPhone camera. HDR is practically a software solution to obtain pictures of a quality as close as possible to what we see with the naked eye, but remember that it is only a software solution, so it does not compensate for the lack of a better lens. The HDR function practically takes 3 pictures with different exposure and using the processing program made by Apple combines them so that the final result is what you see in the pictures in the article, i.e. images of a quality as close as possible to reality.
Most of the time, using the HDR function leads to the capture of brighter pictures, with more details, therefore clearer and quite close to reality. Unfortunately, the HDR function is not as useful in low-light areas, in fact no mobile phone camera, regardless of the photo processing software, is able to take extraordinary pictures in low-light conditions. I can't wait to test this function on the iPhone 4 and I'm sure that by implementing it, the (already good) iPhone 4 camera will become great.
